1

Point Alignment Options
Options to configure your point alignment. For more information, see 3D Point Alignment Options.

2

Image Window (Tomo3D)
Displays the image(s) you are aligning with a special implementation of the Tomo3D View. With the dropdown in the upper left corner, you can switch to a different 2D view pane as well as display a 3D view. You set the subject points in this view. Note that setting points is only possible in the 2D views.

3

Project Window
Displays all the images of the project except the one you are aligning. Area where you set the reference points.

4

View Options
Displays some general view options of the Dimensions Tab for the respective windows.

Parameter

Description

Point list

Name

Displays the name of the point.

Subject

Displays the status of the subject point with a color.

  • Yellow: You are in drawing mode and have not yet set the subject point in the Image Window.
  • Green: You have set the subject point.

Reference

Displays the status of the reference point with a color.

  • Red: You have not yet set the subject point and cannot set the reference point.
  • Yellow: You are in drawing mode and have not yet set the reference point in the Project Window.
  • Green: You have set the reference point.

Draw

Only visible if no points have been drawn for the current point entry.
Enters the drawing mode for the respective point.

Cancel

Only visible if you are in drawing mode.
Cancels the drawing of points for the current point.

Redraw

Only visible if you have already drawn the reference and subject point for this entry.
Reenters the drawing mode to redraw the points for this entry.


Add

Adds another point entry in the list.


Delete

Deletes the currently selected list entry and removes all drawn points of the entry.

Algorithm

Selects the algorithm for alignment. The algorithm is preselected based on the number of positioned points.

Autoselect

Automatically selects the algorithm suitable for the drawn points.

Translation

Moves the item you are aligning in x and y only, without changing its size or orientation.

Translation and 2D Rotation

Moves the item in x and y direction and changes its 2D orientation. It does not change the scale of the item you are aligning.

Translation and 2D Scaling

Moves and resizes the item you are aligning.

3D Rotation and Translation

Moves and rotates the item in three dimensions. It does not change the scale of the item you are aligning.

Allow all transformations

Supports all possible transformations.
