Shapes Pop-Up Menu

Centroid With… Lets you automatically align the centroid of the selected shape with the centroid of another object. Applicable objects include volumetric image data, regions of interest, multi-ROIs, and meshes. These reference objects can be selected in the Choose the Object to Align With dialog.

As ORSObject… Saves the selected shape in the ORS Object file format (*.ORSObject extension). See Exporting Objects.

Extracts a 2D image that corresponds to the oblique or double-oblique angle of a selected visual plane.

Provides a shortcut for selecting macros that can be executed for the selected shape.

Reduces a box to the smallest encasing rectangle based on the maximum Feret diameter and minimum orthogonal Feret diameter of the labeled voxels of the selected region of interest or unstructured grid, such as a mesh. You can select the required object in the Choose an Object dialog, as shown below.

In the illustration below, two box were resized to the Feret and minimal box shapes of selected regions of interest.

Resized boxes

Reduces a box to the minimal encasing rectangle based on the labeled voxels of a selected region of interest or on the bounding box of a mesh.

You can select the required object in the Choose an Object dialog.

Creates a dataset (structured grid) from the subvolume defined by a box shape. The dataset type created can be a channel, region of interest, or multi-ROI, and the input data and geometry can be selected in the appropriate dialog — Create a Channel, Create an ROI, or Create a Multi-ROI.

Adds all voxels contained in the subvolume defined by the current shape to a selected region of interest. You should note that only intersecting voxels will be added to the region of interest.

Extracts a dataset (structured grid) from the subvolume defined by the box shape and the intersecting data values of a selected object.

Automatically expands a box to fully enclose the bounding box of a selected 3D object.

NOTE You can select the 3D object — such as a mesh, dataset, region of interest, or multi-ROI — that you want to contain or wrap to in the Choose a 3D Object dialog.

Automatically resizes and reorients a box to tightly wrap the bounding box of a selected 3D object.

NOTE You can select the 3D object — such as a mesh, dataset, region of interest, or multi-ROI — that you want to contain or wrap to in the Choose a 3D Object dialog.

Removes all labeled voxels from the selected region of interest that are outside of the shape. For example, when you need to limit computations to a subset of the data.

How to Mask an ROI

1. Create and resize a 3D shape, such as a box, cylinder, or sphere.
2. Right-click the shape and then choose Mask ROI in the pop-up menu.
3. Choose the region of interest that you want to mask in the Choose an ROI dialog.

   

4. Click OK.

   All labeled voxels that are outside of the shape are removed from the selected ROI.

5. Save the changes you made to the ROI, if required (see Exporting Objects).

Removes all intersecting voxels of the subvolume defined by the shape from the selected region of interest.

Lets you modify the spacing of a Box shape or to create a box with a specific granularity. For example, when choosing a box for computing vector fields describing anisotropy for a bone analysis.

NOTE You can also edit the advanced properties of a box, such as its position in space or orientation (see Dataset Properties).

As Multiple ORSObject… Exports the selected items in the ORS Object file format (*.ORSObject extension) to a selected folder as multiple files (see Exporting Objects). If the selected items share the same name, their file names will be appended with a sequential number.

As ORSObject… Exports the selected items as an ORS Object file (*.ORSObject extension) to a selected folder (see Exporting Objects).

Provides a shortcut for selecting macros that can be executed for the number of items selected.

Adds all voxels contained in the subvolumes defined by the current shapes to a selected region of interest. You should note that only intersecting voxels will be labeled and added to the region of interest.

Extracts a dataset (structured grid) from the subvolumes defined by the box shapes and the intersecting data values of a selected object.

Removes all intersecting voxels of the subvolumes defined by the shapes from the selected region of interest.
