With this dialog you can execute your previously defined sequence for interactive measurement. You can draw the graphical elements into the image. You also have the standard controls of the Dimensions and Display tabs to adapt the image display and change to other image dimensions to draw the elements.

The software offers the possibility to use a magnetic cursor in your image. This cursor detects edges/contrast changes and automatically moves to them, which can help you to add measurements or annotations. Note that this cursor only works reliably on one channel, so for multi-channel images only activate one channel in the view options. The magnetic cursor can be activated and deactivated via the right-click context menu of your image, or with the shortcut Alt + C.
