I am looking for a Macintosh program that would allow part of an image
to be outlined (using the mouse) and would return the area of the outlined
section. I am making this request for a biology type who needs to compute
the cross sectional area of some organs in a tissue sample.
The general procedure is to make a slide section (which could be read into
the Mac using a digitizer), outline the organ by hand, and compute the
outlined area. The old method is to make a print of the slide, cut out
the organ cross section, and weigh the cut out piece of paper! There
are computerized systems available, but these folks don't have one handy
and do have a Mac.
