Image contours and thresholding [message #10097] Wed, 22 October 1997 00:00

I'm about to embark on writing a little program that puts up
an image, alows the user to outline a section of it, and do
some calculations for the pixels in the selected section (e.g.
calculate what fraction of the pixels are greater than some threshold)
This is obviously a program that someone like David (Fanning)
could write in his sleep but I've been away from widgetizing for
a few months (how soon they forget !). It probably wouldn't be
the worst thing for me to have to do this from scratch but since
I'm in a bit of a hurry I thought I'd ask if anybody knows of
any programs in any of the available libraries that sound like
they do something like this and that I could modify. (David, I
checked your web site and nothing seemed all that close to what
I need) Thanks for any tips, advice,...

You are not the only one who has accused me of writing programs
in my sleep, believe me! :-)

In fact some of the nonsense I have had on my web page lately
would have been greatly improved if I HAD written it in my
sleep. But that's another story...

I will tell you that if *I* needed a neat ROI-like tool
for medical images I would hot-foot it over to Phil Williams
site and have a look at his XDISPLAY program. I think Phil is
is the process of updating it from handles to pointers, but
it is a very nice tool. I think it will probably do all you
need and much more.
