Usage

Using wblanes is quite straightforward: first load an image, then select a rectangle from which two bands shall be quantified.

To load an image, press the Load button which will open a standard file selector.

Once your image is displayed in the top portion of the software, use the mouse to draw a rectangle around the region of interest. When the selected region is defined, the software will perform a regression analysis to fit a sum of two Gaussians to the bands.

If the fit is successful, a plot and quantitative values will appear on the lower part of the interface.

The status bar indicates the value of the area under the first curve A1, under the second curve A2, and the ratio of the first over the total area in percent (and its complement under brackets).

The first curve always represents the upper most band in the original image.

To select a new region of interest, simply drag the existing selection or draw another rectangle on a different part of the image.
