The editor also allows you to view and annotate images saved from the various NewMDSX routines.
Some basic drawing functions are toggled on and off by clicking on their respective buttons on the toolbar. When they are operative, a pen or a hand pointer cursor appears, which is changed back to the default arrow cursor when the facility is toggled off again.
Toggling Draw allows freehand drawing on the display with the mouse button depressed, to highlight features of interest.
Toggling Line draws straight lines, from a point where a mouse button is depressed to a point where it is lifted.
Toggling Ellipse draws the ellipse within a notional rectangle outlined by using the mouse in a similar manner.
Line Colour and Line Thickness allow you to change the colour and thickness in pixels of lines drawn.
Clicking Text causes a box to appear to enter text. On closing this box, move the mouse to the position required and press a mouse button to add the text to the image displayed.
After using any of the above functions, clicking Erase toggles an eraser cursor. Moving this with a mouse button depressed erases the content underneath the tip of the cursor.
Clicking Undo changes (or Ctrl+Z) will undo the latest changes made to the image.
Clicking on Refresh image will clear all lines and annotations added and return to the original image selected. The image as amended must be saved immediately on completion of drawing and erasing, as any additions will be lost when the display is reoriented.
Amended images can be saved as required by opening the File menu item and selecting Save as.
