easyTouch Button

The "easyTouch Button" allows you to link the image in the "Image Display" widget to the easyTouch functionality of the connected tool. You can activate and deactivate the easyTouch functionality by sliding the handle of the button.

When easyTouch is active, ROIs can not be edited, even if you defined them to be editable. The corresponding option dialog will not be shown anymore.

To get more information about how to use easyTouch, please refer to the chapter Adjusting Parameters.
