Hold down while drawing an ROI if you want to constrain the ROI
to the horizontal, vertical, or diagonal axes when possible. Use the selection
tool to position an ROI by its control points or vertices. ROIs are context
sensitive, meaning that the cursor actions differ depending on the ROI with
which you interact. For example, if you move your cursor over the side of
a rectangle, the cursor changes to indicate that you can click and drag the
side to resize the rectangle. If you want to draw more than one ROI in a
window, hold down while drawing additional ROIs.
You can display the IMAQ Vision tools palette as part of an ROI constructor
window or in a separate, floating window. Follow these steps to invoke an
ROI constructor and define an ROI from within the ROI constructor
window:
1. Use imaqConstructROI() to display an image and the tools palette
in an ROI constructor window, as shown in Figure 3-2.
