Thanks Mike.

I tried to use imageJ on a simulated root system, but from the  
parameters I need to study, root area, volume, total length,  
diameter, I only found area! There is any "automatically" way to get  
this information (plug-in or something). There is another variable on  
the study of roots very useful, root length by diameter class, does  
anyone tried to do something similar? The study of roots is very  
similar to the study of other mathematical trees, like rivers, so  
maybe there is someone that knows how to do it. Sorry about this, but  
I am doing my PhD in roots, we usually use WinRhizo software for this  
kind of studies, but I am a Mac user and there is no application to  
do it on Mac Os X.

Thanks

Pedro
