MATLAB: Selecting rectangular region of interest.

Image Processing Toolboximcropregion of interestroipoly

I tried using imcrop to select a rectangular region of interest but for some reason it didn't work when I used another image (different size). I tried using the roipoly function to select the region of interest and that worked every time. However, I need to restrict it to a rectangular region of interest. Is there any way I can do this using 'roipoly'?

imrect() will work with every image. You must have passed in initial coordinates that were beyond the edges of your new image, or some other kind of invalid usage. I can't tell unless you tell me the error message.
If you don't want imrect(), then you can use rbbox() (for "rubber band box"). There is an example for using it in the help for rbbox().
