Hello,
I am working with images with overlays that cover the entire image. I need to draw circular ROIs with a given center point on the images for numerical analysis. However, the Ctrl+Shift modifier keys needed to do this with the Oval Selection tool make the overlay come off and move around instead of drawing the circular ROI that I need, i.e. the overlay gets selected. Is there a way to solve this by 1) reassigning the modifier keys, or 2) make the Oval Selection tool give a circle with a given center point without using Ctrl+Shift, or 3) make the overlay stick in place? I can't see any options in the ImageROI or Overlay code that allow for an "immobile" overlay (the images are produced by a plugin written by me.) And flattening the image is not an option, since I need the pixel values underneath. Greetings, David -- ImageJ mailing list: http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/list.html |

You still have to use ctrl+shift (or command+shift on Macs) to create a centered circular ROI but any underlying overlay will not move. You can upgrade to the daily build by using the Help>Update ImageJ command and selecting "daily build" from the drop down menu. -wayne -- ImageJ mailing list: http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/list.html |
Thank you very much Wayne, it works now. However, I didn't mention this,
but mostly I'd working with annular ROIs (retinal oximetry, annulus around the optic nerve head), and subtracting a smaller concentric ROI requires the Alt key, which also makes the overlay come off...
