function [level,bw] = thresh_tool(im,cmap,defaultLevel) %mainfunction %THRESH_TOOL Interactively select intensity level for image thresholding. % THRESH_TOOL launches a GUI (graphical user interface) for thresholding % an intensity input image, IM. IM is displayed in the top left corner. A % colorbar and IM's histogram are displayed on the bottom. A line on the % histogram indicates the current threshold level. A binary image is % displayed in the top right based on the selected level. To change the % level, click and drag the line. The output image updates automatically. % % There are two ways to use this tool. % %Mode 1 - nonblocking behavior: % THRESH_TOOL(IM) launches GUI tool. You can continue using the MATLAB % Desktop. Since no results are needed, the function does not block % execution of other commands. % % THRESH_TOOL(IM,CMAP) allows the user to specify the colormap, CMAP. If % not specified, the default colormap is used. % % THRESH_TOOL(IM,CMAP,DEFAULTLEVEL) allows the user to specify the % default threshold level. If not specified, DEFAULTLEVEL is determined % by GRAYTHRESH. Valid values for DEFAULTLEVEL must be consistent with % the data type of IM for integer intensity images: uint8 [0,255], uint16 % [0,65535], int16 [-32768,32767]. % % Example % x = imread('rice.png'); % thresh_tool(x) %no return value, so MATLAB keeps running % %Mode 2 - blocking behavior: % LEVEL = THRESH_TOOL(...) returns the user selected level, LEVEL, and % MATLAB waits for the result before proceeding. This blocking behavior % mode allows the tool to be inserted into an image processing algorithm % to support an automated workflow. % % [LEVEL,BW] = THRESH_TOOL(...) also returns the thresholded binary % output image, BW. % % Example % x = imread('rice.png'); % lev = thresh_tool(x) %MATLAB waits for GUI tool to finish % %See also COLORMAP, GRAYTHRESH, IM2BW. %defensive programming error(nargchk(1,3,nargin)) error(nargoutchk(0,2,nargout)) %validate defaultLevel within range if nargin>2 %uer specified DEFAULTLEVEL dataType = class(im);

Also, the HandleVisibility can be % overridden by setting the root's ShowHiddenHandles property to on. % % h = vline(42,'g','The Answer') % % returns a handle to a green vertical line on the current axes at x=42, and creates a text object on % the current axes, close to the line, which reads "The Answer". % % vline also supports vector inputs to draw multiple lines at once.
