ImageJ how to copy a Polygon

i've got a polygon on the default image, and the selected polygon. How can i copy the polygon or the selection, or how can i draw the same polygon on a new image?

Thanks for your help!

Solution

  • After drawing a selection in one image, you can copy that selection to a second image by activating the second image window, then running the Restore Selection command. It lives in the Selection submenu of the Edit menu. You can also execute it using the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+E (or Cmd+Shift+E on OS X).

    If you want to actually bake the polygon into the image itself, you can use the Flatten command in the Overlay submenu of the Image menu. And the shortcut for that Ctrl+Shift+F (or Cmd+Shift+F on OS X).
