[Chimera-users] Regarding estimation of volume in 2D

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Poornima,

   I'm sure ImageJ can do this better than Chimera because ImageJ is 
aimed at 2d image analysis and Chimera is intended for 3d image 
analysis.  Still it can be done in Chimera.  I made your image 
background black, then switched to grayscale in Gimp.  Chimera can open 
a grayscale tiff but not a color one.  Then I used the Measure and Color 
Blobs tool (menu Tools / Volume Data) to find that the area you showed 
in red is about 9000 pixels.  Depends exactly where you set the 
threshold because your red blends smoothly into yellow.
