Search Functions
There are 2 search functions on the applet: search for coordinates (A) and search for regions (B).
The user can click at any location on the slice (2D image) in the left-hand window of the applet
and then click the "Search coordinate(s)" button to see what brain regions it is in, shown
hierarchically. A red cross on the image and an exact coordinate value (x,y,z) will appear after
each click and can be erased by clicking the "Clear all coordinate(s)" button. On the other hand,
the user can input some brain region names and click the "Search region(s)" button to see where
they are on 2D images. Each area is displayed distinctively by different color blobs in all three
views. The color blobs also appear on the image navigator in order to help the user see the brain
regions clearly. The size and minimum/maximum values of x, y, z coordinates of brain regions
are also given in the search results box. The color of each blob can be changed in the window
shown after clicking "Display Properties". Color blobs can be removed from the image by
clicking on the button "Clear region(s)."
