Annotation
The button shown will open the annotation tools.
User Annotations in the Faxitron CT Software allows one to apply a transparent
graphic “overlay” commonly call “annotations” to an image. These annotations take
the form of text, lines, “free form” lines (Bezier curves), arrows, ellipse and boxes. This allows
additional information and “markers” to be added to the image if desired. Note that all
annotations can be easily turned on or off, in other words they can be shown or hidden at will.
Selecting Save or Cancel from this dialog box will either cancel the previous annotations or
save the current annotations to the window. It will also return you to normal imaging mode.
The tool pallet consists of nine (9) tool options that follow.
Note the behaviour of most of these tool options involve using the mouse to guide the on-screen
dynamic position and shape. Mouse “clicks” are used to set the final position and shape.
The term “swipe” infers holding down the left-mouse button and moving the object around the
screen. Letting go of the left mouse or clicking the right mouse button will “set” the annotations
into a “permanent” or final position.
Note: Annotations are not available in the 3D Rendered View.
