Dimensions Panel

Main Help Desk    Table of Contents


Description :

The Dimensions Panel allows the specify the dimensions, the offsets, and the sampling of an optiscan object.  A discussion of the coordinate vectors is located at the end.

Specifying the Dimensions :

Enter the dimensions in the Dimensions portion of the Dimensions Panel.

Length The MKS length (x-dimension) of the object.

Width The MKS width (y-dimension) of the object.

Specifying the Offsets :

Enter the offsets in the Offsets portion of the Dimensions Panel.

X-Offset The MKS location of the left edge of the object.

Y-Offset The MKS location of the right edge of the object.

Specifying the Sampling :

Enter the sampling in the Sampling portion of the Dimensions Panel.

X-Sampling The MKS sampling of columns.

Y-Sampling The MKS sampling of the rows.

The Coordinate Vectors :

yvec = (yoffset-width/2) : ysampling : (yoffset+width/2)
