Matrix Export to Image to better support GeoTIFF

There is an option in the dropdown list and default to it if we detect matrix has that info.

Besides geo info, Origin will check file extension as well:

i.e. import *.jpg into image window, export dialog will default to jpg too. while matrix window does not now.

Import Export Issues with GeoTIFF in Image Window

Support export Multiframe TIF with GeoTIFF info

Export multiple frames tif file from image window will also export the GeoTIFF info like XY mapping.

Create Linked Matrix of ROI

Linked matrix of ROI in image window with proper XY coordinates.

In some cases, a calculation, analysis, or statistics of a region of interest in an image is required. But such operations may only be available in a matrix window.

This previously required 4 steps: add ROI, create linked image of ROI, convert to matrix, do the operation on the matrix.

In Origin 2023, the create linked image and convert steps can be skipped. A Create Linked Matrix context menu is added.

When dragging or resizing the ROI in image, the linked matrix will update accordingly.

ORG-25174

Intensity Profile with small ROI issue

Added Weighted ROI checkbox option to mroiprofile dialog for tiny coordinates ROI.

If this option is selected, each pixel is weighted by the area of the intersection of the pixel rectangle and the ROI polygon.

ORG-23789

ROIs from SVG files

Support creating graph object from SVG file, and create ROI from the graph object.

1.LabTalk command to create a gr. object(only work for Graph):

draw -paths objName <pathname of .SVG file>

2.LabTalk command to create a gr. object, and initially set the rectangle of the created object (only work for Graph):

draw -paths -s MyPath "<path name of downloaded 100960033.svg>"

3.LabTalk command to create a gr. object, and support creating ROI from the path in graph object(work for Graph, Matrix, Image):

draw -paths -d MyPath "<path name of downloaded 100960033.svg>"

4.OC way to add/remove SVG file to a matrix layer and associate it with the active matrix object by index:

4.1.Compile following code and execute load_svg_to_matrix("<svg pathname>") to add SVG file to the active Matrix object of matrix layer.

void	load_svg_to_matrix(string strPathName)
{
	MatrixLayer			matlayer = Project.ActiveLayer();
	if (!matlayer)
	{
		out_str("Matrix must be active!");
		return;
	}
	
	LPCOSTR				lpcszPathName = strPathName;
	OLP					olpRet = matlayer.PathsObjectsManagement(PATHSMNG_ADD_PATHS_OBJ, lpcszPathName);
	if (olpRet <= 0)
	{
		out_str("Failed to add SVG!");
		return;
	}
}

4.2.Compile following code and execute remove_all_svgs_from_matrix() to remove all SVG files from active Matrix layer.

void	remove_all_svgs_from_matrix()
{
	MatrixLayer			matlayer = Project.ActiveLayer();
	if (!matlayer)
	{
		out_str("Matrix must be active!");
		return;
	}
	
	OLP					olpCountRemoved = matlayer.PathsObjectsManagement(PATHSMNG_REMOVE_ALL);
	out_int("Paths objects removed: ", olpCountRemoved);
}
