You can create your own columns in the Measurements table by performing mathematical operations on existing columns: for example, you may want to create a new column to record the Area (width x height) of a cell .
- Open the Measurements table and select the type of measurement you wish to make (ie. Line, ROI or Point Count)
- Select "Custom Measurements" from the "Table" menu.
- Click on the "New" button and type in a name for the new measurement in the "Name:" box.
- Select a "Type" from the pop-up menu.
- If your type is Number, check the "Integer Value" box if you want the result of the calculation to be expressed as an integer.
- Check the "Greyscale Intensity" box, if you want the value to be displayed in the Measurements window with the color/greyscale triangle.
- If you wish to use your new measurement as part of an expression in another column, you will need to create a Variable name for it. This name must be alphanumeric with no spaces.
Note: Only give your column a variable name if you intend to reuse it.
- Use the "Column variables" and the "Operators" tables to create an Expression for your measurement.
- Click on the Done button to create and save the new column.
