Joining regions
You can join two (or more) 2D regions to form a single region which includes all of the samples which were included in the original regions.
To join two regions:
- Click on the region you wish to join (call this region A).
- Point to the region you wish to join it to (call this region B).
- On the Shortcut (right-click) menu, click Join regions
- The boundary of region A is modified to include the boundary of region B, with a thin connecting link created if necessary. Region B is deleted.
Notes:
- The thin connecting link (if created) may introduce data as it has a small but finite width (~2 mm).
- The shape of the new region is not affected by the order of selection (if you join region A to B or B to A the result is the same).
- Regions with overlapping boundaries can not be joined.
