Scenarios(by clicking on 
)
 |
To add a "keyframe" of the current dataset visualization, press "a" on your keyboard. Users can create small movies that will interpolate between keyframes. the fps parameter allows to manage the time between each keyframe. |

Figure axis
 |
Display customizable 3D axes. Use buttons K to displace the 3D axis and L to rotate. |
|---|---|
 |
Reset 3D axes to default values. |
 |
By checking/unchecking the box, the user can choose to show/hide each of the 3D axes. |
 |
For each end of the axes, the user can modify the text displayed via these text boxes. |
 |
The user can change the size of axes and text displayed via these scrollbars. |
 |
The user can change the colors of the 3D axes. |
Overlay text
 |
Manage the display of text properties over objects. To be displayed here, a "text" property must first be loaded and shown in the "properties" menu. Apply : display the text property of the selected object(s). Update : display the text property of a new list of selected object(s). 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. Apply adds lines between selected sister-cells.Update updates visualization. Clear: clears all lines linking sister cell pairs. Thickness: change the thickness of the lines linking sister cells. |
