Examples and How To

Build App To Display Pixel Information

This example shows how to create a simple app that provides information about pixels and features in an image using modular pixel information tools.

Build App for Navigating Large Images

This example shows how to build an app for navigating large images using modular navigation tools.

Build Image Comparison Tool

This example shows how to make the connections that enable modular tools to interact.

Create Angle Measurement Tool Using ROI Objects

This example shows how to create a tool that measures the angle between lines drawn over an image.

Concepts

Build Custom Image Processing Apps Using Modular Interactive Tools

You can combine interactive tools to create custom image processing apps. Some available tools include contrast adjustment, metadata display, pixel information, magnification, and cropping.

Interactive Modular Tool Workflow

Learn how to create a modular tool and how to associate it with a target image.

Create Your Own Modular Tools

Learn about the utility functions available for creating custom modular interactive tools.

Customize Modular Tool Interactivity

To customize the interactivity of a modular tool with a target image, use event notifications from the modular tool APIs.
