Menu Tools

	In this menu, users can create and export dataset images or videos (Recorder); modify the display layout of certain elements in the MorphoNet viewer window, (Rendering); display customizable 3D axes (Figure axis) and manage the display of dataset properties (Figure properties). To unfold each of the above submenus, press "sow".
Users can modify the view and lighting settings for the viewer.

Recorder

	Create a new movie of dataset.
	Take a photo of the screen.

Scenarios(by clicking on )

	To add current time point, press "a" on your keyboard. User can choose the frames-per-second to be shown, starting from any selected time point and decide whether or not to interpolate in following global dataset movements.

	Examples of added time points, using "a".
	You can name your scenario and play this scenario or record this scenario or save this scenario on MorphoNet database. Once saved on the MorphoNet database, you can share you scenario with other members/groups using . Use to return to movie selection menu or to erase movie.

	Now, if you go back to the movie selection menu, you can open previously saved scenarios.

Clear : Remove all the text(s) displayed.
Select objects : select objects for which the text is already displayed.
Full names : this button is dedicated to the ascidian embryonic cell names. It allows to switch between the Xn.[0-9,0-9,0-9,0-9]_/ format (e.g a7.0001_) to the Conklin format : Xn.p_/ (e.g A7.1_), more suitable for publication.
Size : the 2 scrollbars allow to modify the size of the text and of the font.
Text color : allow to modify the text color.
Sister links : these buttons are also dedicated to ascidian embryonic cell names. It allow to Apply a line between selected sister-cells; to Update : by applying lines between a new list os selected sister cells or to Clear all lines linking sister cell pairs. Thickness : manage the thickness of the lines linking sister cells.
