A library for ImageJ/Fiji that allows to generate binary images representing discretized common shapes: ellipses, boxes, ellipsoids... The generated images can be used to validate image processing algorithms, or for modelling purpose by combining several shapes together.

Examples of 2D digitized shapes:

It is also possible to generate discretized version of 3D shapes (balls, ellipsoids, cylinders...):

• ImageJ
• JUnit
• ijGeometry, a geometry library for ImageJ

To install the "Digital Shapes" library, follow these steps:

• copy the latest version of the "ijGeometry" library into the "jars" directory the ImageJ/Fiji installation
• copyt the latest version of the "Digital_Shapes" library into the "plugins" directory
• restart ImageJ

A new "Digital Shapes" Menu should now appear within the "plugins" menu.
