Hi all,

I recently applied RTW tools to estimate the ground surface area for a
large mining site in Asia. To be able to do that as ecologists truly
put our company ahead of the rest, we could notify the mining company
of the true environmental impact of the project. RTW tools in this
respect was ground breaking, absolutely essential and worked very
well.

Calculating ground surface area as opposed to planimetric area should
be a legal standard - and RTW tools provide the solution!

Could I only suggest the simple improvement to allow batch processing
of ROIs?

Hi Martin,

Thank you for your feedback on RTWTools - I'm very glad that you found
it useful. I'm sorry for my slow reply - I've been very busy in the last
few weeks with university work.

One of my tasks for the next week or so is to try and do a bit more on
RTWTools, so I'll look at your request then. Do you mean that you would
like to be able to select multiple ROIs to do the statistics (sum, mean,
max etc) over, and get all the results at once? That should be a
relatively easy change to implement.

Best regards,

Robin

Hi Martin,

A new version of RTWTools has now been released which has the
capability to provide statistics on multiple ROIs at the same time.
It's available for download at http://rtwtools.googlecode.com. Let me
know how it goes.

Robin
