Dragonfly's Organizer
Dragonfly’s Organizer, shown below, provides an easy way to organize, manage, and share your data and analysis results. The Organizer is equipped with drag-and-drop features so that you can readily add objects — such as image data, regions of interest, multi-ROIs, meshes, screen captures, session files, and more — to a project. The same ease-of-use is applicable when you open a saved project to continue your work.
