– Close open contours
This function closes open contours. After correction of such a contour a
green circle will mark the start point.
– Set extreme points
Moves curve points, which are located near an extreme point onto the exact
position of the extremum. If there is no curve point within the extrema
tolerance, a new curve point will be inserted onto the extremum. There is
no marking.
– Delete single start points
Deletes start points which are the only digitization of its ‘contour’. A blue
circle will mark the (former) position of the deleted start point.
– Connect aligned lines
This function checks two connected straight lines and unifies them to one
straight line, if they only diuer within the channel tolerance and within an
angle of ten degrees. A brown circle marks the position of the deleted point.
– Check narrow points (same label)
Deletes one of two neighbored ik points (the one with the higher
digitization number) of the same label in case the two points are located
closer to each other than the double points tolerance. An olive circle will
mark the (former) position of the deleted point.
– Check narrow points (different label)
Deletes one of two neighbored ik points (the one with the higher
digitization number) of any diuering label in case the two points are located
closer to each other than the double points tolerance. An olive circle will
mark the (former) position of the deleted point.
– Correct start point
Corrects wrongly located start points. This kind of mistake is sometimes
produced during manual digitization. There is no marking.
– Correct single tangent points
Converts tangent points without edge or tangent as neighbor into a curve
or edge point, depending on the neighbors. A fair-violet circle will mark the
position of the point with the changed label.
– Correct sense of rotation
Corrects the sense of rotation of contours, which means outer contours
will turn clockwise and inner ones will turn counter-clockwise. A fair-red
circle will mark the position of the start point of the corrected contour.
