Plot Profile Question

Michael Lemieux
Hello ImageJ Community,

I have a question regarding the Plot Profile tool and how it generates
values for fluorescence intensity.  When a line selection of more than 1
pixel in width is drawn through a confocal image containing something
fluorescent, ImageJ should create a dataset where the "x" values represent
the length of the line and the "y" values represent the average intensity
of the pixels.  This works very nicely for a line that is drawn
horizontally.  If that same line is drawn vertically or diagonally,
however, the values that end up in the "y" column are not a simple average
of the pixels at any given position on that line.  So in summary, I am not
sure how ImageJ calculates those values for lines that are not perfectly
horizontal.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you very
much.

Michael

Michael,

what about reading the ImageJ User-Guide?
<http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/docs/index.html>

Page 142 may help.

For possible changes or improvements see:
