This procedure works for single points as well as for several points with connecting
lines.
If there are no points marked and the tool is selected, the color of the point just
under the mouse cursor is changed. Besides that it is possible to hold the mouse
button and change the color of all points that are hit by the cursor by dragging the
mouse.
By using the left mouse button for the re-coloring procedure, only visible points are
changed. Use the right mouse button to recolor blanked (invisible) points.
To work on blanked points, they should be made visible in the in the drawing area by
setting Edit -> Blanked Lines Visible. If an endpoint has been made visible with any of
the procedures above, a dialog shows up asking if a blank point shall be inserted.
6.3.5. Eraser Tool (Delete):
Marked points can be deleted with this tool. If no points are marked, the point
under the mouse cursor is deleted. By clicking and dragging the mouse, all points hit
by the cursor will be erased.
6.3.6. Wrench-Tool (Optimize Output):
The point and line output behavior can be controlled with the wrench tool. A
click on the icon opens a dialog that offers different options for selection (Fig. 41):
There are different ways of optimizing the points of a frame for proper output.
Each point has specific “properties” which especially mean their relation to other
points.
Three main optimization methods and their combinations can be selected.
Please remember, that some optimization methods may destroy your Galvo scanner
system! These methods are marked with a red background color. The methods with
green and yellow background should not harm normal Galvo scanner system
(depending on properly set scan-rate).
