Label editor

The Label editor is used to define and edit labels. You can analyze data via Label analysis or Chemotaxis analysis.

Defining a label (space or time dimension)

  1. Define the region of interest.
    • To define a circular or rectangular area, click the Circle or Rectangle button under Draw New Label then drag the mouse in the Image Display window to delineate the area.
    • Determine whether to track inside or outside the region using the Region Mode drop-down.
    • To select the entire frame, click the Full image button then click the image. You should see an outline around the image.
  2. Under Properties, enter a name. The name is displayed under Select Label for Editing/Name.
  3. Set a time length for the label: Enter values for Start Frame and End Frame.

    To analyze the entire image sequence, use the last frame number as the value for End Frame.

Defining a recurring label (time dimension)

A recurring label will generate multiple labels of the same length (in frames) at regular intervals.

  1. Select the entire frame: Click the Full image button then click the image. You should see an outline around the image.
  2. Under Properties, enter a name. The name is displayed under Select Label for Editing/Name.
  3. Enter values for Start frame and End frame that define the first label.
  4. Check Recurrence.
  5. Enter an Interval length (label length + number of frames before next label).

 

Example: The label length is 50 frames, you want to start the analyses at frame 1 and add an interval of 10 frames between labels.
