Pixstat results

Results display

After a picture has been analysed, the main results are displayed directly in the main window of Pixstat. These are: the number of objects, their total area, the average area per object, the total length, the average length and the average width. Note that lengths and widths are only defined according the the selected general shapes of the objects.

Results file

Pixstat writes its results into plain-text files. The name and location of the results file can be chosen by the user by selecting Results in the Options menu. If the file already exists, then new results will be appended to the existing ones. Within the Options dialog box, it is also possible to chose which kind of results will be including in the file, like object number, area, length or width.

If the file name has the extension CSV, then the results will be written separated by comma (CSV = comma-separated values). If it has the extension SSV, SKV or SCSV, then the results will be written separated by semi-columns. Otherwise, the data will be written separated by tabulators. In all cases, it is easy to import these formats into a text-editor, a spreadsheet, a statistical or a graphical software. By clicking on the View/edit button on the main window, or by selecting View results in the File menu, the current results file will be opened with the software corresponding to the file type. Which software is used depends on the ending of the file name and on the corresponding settings on a particular computer. In fact, the same should happen as if the icon of the file would be double-clicked from your file explorer. CSV files, for example, are usually set to be opened with your preferred spreadsheet software and TXT will normally by opened in your plain-text editor. If this doesn't work, then Hemisfer tries to open the file with Windows notepad.
