Welcome to ScaleBarIT created by Dan Scotson.
ScaleBarIT enables users to add scale bars to images quickly and efficiently. The basic steps involve choosing your image, specifying its pixel size, then choosing a region of interest and finally adding your scale bar of choice.
Dan has built this capability during his PhD in a Materials Science field and hopes the distribution of this app will provide a tailored and simple solution to adding scale bars to images.
Download the installer from the repository. While the code has been written in MATLAB, the app is a standalone installation which does not require MATLAB software to use.
If you publish any of the images created using ScaleBarIT, please honour the licensing and cite this repository. You can get an APA or LaTeX formatted bibliographical reference using the 'Cite this repository' feature on the right-hand information menu.
Please feel free to add issues where necessary or contact Dan directly via email at daniel.scotson@manchester.ac.uk.
Suggestions of improvements and additional features are extremely welcome.
If you have a .tif image where the pixel size is not automatically detected, please raise this issue and Dan can look into adding this functionality.
Dan Scotson is the sole maintainer of this project.
If you're interested in developing this app further, please get in touch with Dan to discuss sharing of the codebase, collaboration and licensing options.
