Hi @ewgrace, @agholivand, @elikram101 👋🏼

Thanks for working on this during the hackday, and sorry for the slow follow-up. I had quite a backlog after Open Software Week but things are settling again.

Your work made me realise this example is hard to showcase properly without an easy way to draw ROIs in the GUI. Without that, we need too much code to define ROIs programmatically, which distracts from the main goal: demonstrating how to compute a thigmotaxis index.

So I’ve decided to prioritise #378 (ROI-drawing functionality) first. I plan to tackle it in November, and once it’s released and documented, I’ll ping you here to see if you’d like to revisit this example, entirely depending on your availability, of course.

Happy to hear any thoughts or questions in the meantime.
