roiManager("Deselect");

[Ed Siefker]

roiManager("Deselect"); does not work.

Just FYI.  I'm using run("Select None"); and it works fine.

Hi Ed,

there is a fundamental difference between these two commands:

   run("Select None");
Clears any selection (ROI) from the active image

   roiManager("Deselect");
Clears any selection in the *list* of ROIs displayed in the ROI Manager.

See:
   http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/docs/guide/146-27.html#toc-Subsubsection-27.12.2
 
http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html#roiManager(%22deselect%22)



Here is an example:

run("Blobs (25K)");
setAutoThreshold("Default");
run("Analyze Particles...", "add");
roiManager("Select", 3);
wait(1000);
roiManager("Deselect");

In the list of ROIs shown in the ROI Manager, you will see that the
macro selects the fourth line from the top (index 3, starting from 0),
named "0068-0011". One second later the line will be deselected.

I'm a little confused.  What's the point of deselecting the ROI in the
manager if it doesn't affect the selection in the image?  I can see
that "Deselect" removes the highlighting from the line, does that have
any other effects?  What use case is there for this function?

Good day Ed,

I can confirm that there is a problem with

        roiManager("Deselect");

This little macro demonstrates it:


// begin
run("Set Measurements...", "area mean redirect=None decimal=1");
newImage("Untitled", "8-bit ramp", 256, 256, 1);
makeOval(11, 7, 116, 116);
roiManager("Add");
makeOval(166, 23, 79, 206);
roiManager("Add");
makeOval(21, 174, 135, 40);
roiManager("Add");
roiManager("Show All");
roiManager("Select", 1);
run("Measure");
roiManager("Deselect");
run("Measure");
exit();
// end

In fact both calls of
       
        run("Measure");

give the same result in spite of the fact that the ROI #1 was deselected
but in fact it isn't. Inserting

        roiManager("update")

doesn't change this situation.

Perhaps Wayne could have a look at this problem.

Regards

Herbie

It’s not intuitive, but use roiManager("Deselect”) when you want to operate on all the ROI’s using commands such as roiManager("Measure”) or roiManager(“Fill”). These commands operate on all the ROI’s if none are selected.

This macro works as expected. The roiManager("Deselect”) command deselects any selected ROI’s on the ROI Manager list. It does not remove the ROI of the active image. Use run("Select None”) to do that.

Thanks Wayne,

for making things more transparent.

We learn that

        roiManager("Deselect");

concerns the ROI Manager *list* only!
