}How to use
-
$python DriftCorrector.py
-
Click "Open dataset" to get startet
-
navigate to the directory with your volume data as either a multipage tiff file or in the a number of consecutively named image files. I.e. my_image_0.png, my_image_1.png, my_image_2.png, ...
-
Confirm that the tool is in "Add Points" mode in the left pane
-
Annotate vesicles one at a time by using the following commands
Right-click to center at a vesicle Zoom in/out using the buttons in the left pane Left-click a vesicle boundary to annotate a point Use the mouse scroll button or the "+" and "-" key to cycle through the image sections Change viewing direction by clicking "a" Undo point placement by clicking "ctrl+z"
- Click "Edit Points" to edit or delete previously placed points, do:
Right-click a previous annotation to make it active Left-click a point to delete it
