Area Editor |
![]() |
This Area Editor allows defining
specific areas for limiting the processing to a part of the image. The
profile areas, which have a rectangular shape crossed by a dotted line
that indicates the direction of the profile, are intended only for the
Profile tool.
The other areas, which are either rectangular, elliptic or polygonal,
can be used by Data Viewer,
Object Extraction,
Point Counting
or Image Factory.
For creating a new area, press one of the shape button and then click and drag the shape on the main image (a cross-cursor is displayed before and during the drawing time).

Rotate: Allows to rotate a profile area.
2D Drawing: Creates 2D drawings from the selected areas. Using this option gives information on the area position and the area measurements.
Note: When closing the
dialog, all the rectangular areas that have a region outside the image
are corrected so that they remain inside the image. For the other area
types, a message asks the operator to correct them.
Note: The length and
the width of an area must be larger than 4 pixels, otherwise the area
is not saved. There is no restriction for the profile areas, the smallest
width can be 1 pixel.
