44 <h1>ALE Exclusion Regions
</h1>
46 <p>ALE offers exclusion regions as a way to disallow certain areas from being
47 used in alignment and (optionally) rendering. Spatial coordinates are
48 expressed in the rendering coordinate system (prior to scaling). In cases
49 where the default transformation is used with the original frame, this is
50 identical to the unscaled original frame coordinate system, taking the
51 upper-left corner to be (
0,
0). Frame numbering begins with
0, which represents
54 <h2>Rectangular Exclusion
</h2>
56 <p>All specified volumes are excluded from alignment (except where they affect
57 the alignment reference image), and are excluded from rendering by default.
58 (See the
<a href=
"../rendering/chains/">rendering chains
</a> page for
59 information on how to ignore exclusion regions.) Exclusion region syntax is
