Detailed Description

Erase a connected region by filling it with the background (unlabeled) pixel value.

See also
FillRegionBaseTool

Finds the outer contour of a shape in 2D (possibly including single patches) and sets all the pixels inside to the background pixel value (erasing a segmentation). Clicking on an unlabeled (background) pixel has no effect.

Warning
Only to be instantiated by mitk::ToolManager.
