When you select the Shape List input in the list of tool inputs, this toolbar is displayed. These tools are used
to create ROIs, cut, copy, paste, and delete selected ROIs, save images, zoom in and out on the image, and
view a histogram or line profile. For more details, also see “Display Area Toolbar” on page 3-17.
To place a Rectangle, Circle, or Polygon Shape List ROI
1. In the tool input properties, select Shape List.
2. On the toolbar, click the Create ROI button.
3. From the drop down, select the ROI type you want to place.
4. Click on the image where you want to place the ROI. To resize, move,
or rotate the ROI, move the cursor around the ROI border (the cursor
changes to one of these types), then click and drag the cursor to the
desired place or size.

• Rotate -
• Polygon Add Edit Point -
To delete an Edit Point, click and drag the point you want to delete over an adjacent edit point and
release the mouse button. The edit point must touch the point you want to delete.
NOTE: If an ROI moves outside the image window, an "ROI Off Image" watermark is displayed over the
image and the display switches to Zoom to Fit All ROIs mode. You can also click the button on the Display
Area toolbar (see “Display Area Toolbar” on page 3-17).
To create a Grid Shape List ROI
1. In the tool properties, select the Shape List Property
2. On the toolbar, select the ROI type you want to place.
3. On the toolbar, click the Create Grid of ROIs button.
4. From the drop down, select the type of grid you want to create:
• Step and Repeat: Creates a grid of ROIs based on a single start point, a number of rows and columns,
x and y pitch, and a step angle. Position the Start Location ROI, then enter the number of desired rows
and columns, the x and y pitch, and the step angle. Rows and columns of ROIs are created x and y dis-
tance apart at the step angle beginning at the starting location.
• Grid: Creates a grid of ROIs based on a starting ROI, an ending column position, an ending row posi-
tion, and row and column values. Position the Start Location ROI at the desired row 1 column 1 of the
grid. Position the End Column ROI at the final column position of the grid. Position the End Row ROI
at the final row position of the grid. Enter the number of desired rows and columns. A grid of ROIs is
created based on the number of rows and columns defined.
• Area: Creates a grid of ROIs based on a Size ROI, an Area ROI, and an x and y offset. Position the
Size ROI on the desired part of the image, place the Area ROI around the desired grid area, then enter
the desired x and y offset values. The defined area is filled with ROIs, based on the Size ROI and the
offset values.
5. Individual ROIs can be selected and adjusted as desired.
6. When all the ROIs are in the desired place, click Create to create the grid of ROIs, Reset to reset all
values and start over, or Done to exit the grid dialog.
