Picture analysis

Once a picture has been loaded from a picture file or scanned into Pixstat, it is possible to run its analysis by clicking the corresponding button or by selecting Analyse picture(s) in the File menu. If the threshold is set to automatic and it hasn't been calculated before, then this is done at the beginning of the analysis. Note that objets smaller than the minimum area set in the main window will not be considered in the calculations. This is to prevent specks from being counted together with the true objects. If lengths and widths are to be calculated, then this is done according to the object shapes defined also in the main window. The results of the analysis are displayed and (if one has been chosen) written to the current results file.

If several pictures are loaded, then the analysis is done as a batch. In this case, it is obviously recommended to choose first a results file for recording the obtained results. A running analysis can always be stopped by clicking on the stop button.
