Reference - Reference system selection

Search Area - the tool's region of interest

Use whole picture - overrides polygon settings

Polygon definition file - The areas to be searched are initially read from a text file (see the StrVec format). The name of that file is also stored, for possible future reload. The path information, however, is stored directly in the system, without need for the external file. You can browse for or manually edit the filename

• Load - load areas search from file

• Save - save area search to file

• Always read file at startup (overwrite SPB) - With this selection, the file is always loaded at startup.

Polygons

• Vector - list of numbered polygons
• Content - the points of the selected polygon
• New - add polygon
• Delete - remove selected polygon
• Paste new - creates a new polygon, pastes the polygon from the clipboard and presses apply  - this is the quickest way to create many polygons
• Highlight selection - highlights the selected polygon in the image
• Copy - copies the selected polygon to the clipboard
• Paste - pastes the clipboard to the selected polygon - will overwrite an existing polygon

Note: Copy is used to transfer polygon to the image for editing and modification. The edited polygon is pasted back to the tool using Paste. More on Point and Click Operations
