MIPAV toolbars

MIPAV toolbars

After you open an image in MIPAV and the MIPAV window expands to display all of its menus and toolbars, such as:

VOI toolbar contains tools that help you in selecting the specific area of interest on the image. See Volumes of Interest.

Paint toolbar includes tools that allow you to add, adjust, or remove colors and color intensity, erase paint, and adjust the opacity level of the paint.

Scripting toolbar allows you to locate and run previously recorded scripts, or macros, that contain two or more algorithms on images.

Image toolbar includes tools for opening, printing, saving, maximizing, and minimizing an image; converting an image from gray scale to color or from color to gray scale; and adding to and removing slices from an image or changing their order; and rotating, cropping, and flipping an image. See Opening and loading image files, Displaying images, Changing Image Contrast.
