Currently, a user chooses a fixed number of bins for MeasureObjectRadialDistribution, so that the annuli widths will scale their size proportional to each objects' size. It has been requested to have an option to fix the width, so that larger cells would have more radial bins than a smaller object.

Donna McPhie, our collaborator on a mitochondria project writes: "When Bruce and I visited in October we discussed changing the radial distribution module to measure the radii in an un scaled manner. I think Lee mentioned that he could do this. In the current pipeline was this change incorporated? If not is this something that can be done relatively easily? In discussing the data output with Bruce he really feels that we need to look at the radial distribution analysis in this way so as to be measuring the distributional changes in a manner similar to how we had measured them in the original study."
