42 CHAPTER 2. GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE<br />
The menu has a cascade structure, according to the chapter structure of the HALCON<br />
reference manual. As this menu has to be built up after opening the program window, it<br />
might take some time until it is available. During the build-up time the menu is “grayed<br />
out”. Selecting a chapter of the menu opens a pulldown menu with the corresponding<br />
subchapters or operators, respectively.<br />
This operator hierarchy is especially useful for novices because it offers all operators<br />
sorted by thematic aspects. This might be interesting for an experienced user, too, if he<br />
wants to compare, e.g., different smoothing filters, because they reside in the same subchapter.<br />
To get additional information, a short description of an operator (while activating<br />
its name in the menu) is displayed in the status bar (see figure 2.25).<br />
Note, that some operators are visible in the menus but cannot be selected, e.g.,<br />
ÓÔÒ ÛÒÓÛ (in ÇÔÖØÓÖ× º ÖÔ× º ÏÒÓÛ)orÖ×Ø Ó (in ÇÔÖØÓÖ×<br />
º ËÝ×ØÑ º Ø×) . In the case of most of these operators, you should use the corresponding<br />
ÚÐÓÔ operator (e.g., Ú ÓÔÒ ÛÒÓÛ instead of ÓÔÒ ÛÒÓÛ) within<br />
<strong>HDevelop</strong>. Some operators, e.g. Ö×Ø Ó , cannot be called at all within <strong>HDevelop</strong>.<br />
2.3.2.6 The Menu Item ËÙ×ØÓÒ×<br />
This menu shows you another possibility how to select HALCON operators. But here they are<br />
proposed to you in a different manner. It is assumed that you have already selected or executed<br />
an operator in a previous step. Depending on this operator, five different suggestions are offered.<br />
Figure 2.26 shows possible successor suggestions for operator Ö Ñ.<br />
