Measurement

This module enables you to measure morphological parameters of interactively defined contours, like area, orientation angle, perimeter, diameter, center of gravity, radius of circle with equal area, shape factor, bounding box, projections, etc. The free configuration of all interactive measurement tools displays desired parameters in tables, lists or graphs. You can measure intensity values for rectangles and contours and have the option for interactive measurement in online images.
