A window can be selected when the toolset edit panel is on the screen.
Starting from the main menu bar, the selection path to this panel is as
follows: Editors
→ Configuration → Setup → Tools. This selection path
is shown by the example in Figure 7.1 (page 7–2).
Here is a summary list of the basic window selection and configuration steps,
listed in their normal order of performance:
1. Select the appropriate window operation.
2. Select the window shape.
3. “Pick and place” the window.
4. Select the mask shape and mode.
5. “Pick and place” the mask.
6. Select threshold/filter. (For details, see Chapter 8, Thresholds, Filters,
and Morphology.)
7. Learn the nominal value.
8. Select the ranges.
Each of the windows can be configured as a rectangle, circle, ellipse, arc
ring, or polygon, according to the requirements of your application. Note that
you can “pick and place” the window anywhere within the image field and
set it to any size, so long as it remains entirely within the image field.
When you pick the Window Shape field in the window tool edit panel, the
Window Shape selection panel appears, as shown in Figure 7.25.

•

that can be adjusted in size (radius) and position.
