KSLStrain    

Interface

The program interface is composed of the menus (0), picture (pattern) box (4) and a number of command buttons. Their functions are described below.

0 - Menus. Noteworthy are 

• File / Open project     - open an earlier created project (patterns, settings, marked lines).
•       / Save project as  - save a project (patterns, settings, marked lines).

1 - "Pattern" to load a pattern or a set of patterns (the same as menu File/Open pattern). The arrows are for navigating between patterns of a loaded set.

2 - Name of currently displayed pattern.

3 - Pattern number / number of loaded patterns.

4 - Pattern box. The mouse has the following functions in this box:

• left click to mark a point of a Kossel line,
• right click to mark the last point of the Kossel line,
• left click on a marking point and drag to correct its position,
• middle click on a marking point to delete the point,
• Ctrl + middle click on a marking point to delete the line,
• right click in the vicinity of a marking point to display line profile,
• right click in the vicinity of a marking point and drag (or scroll) to correct its position based on the profile.

5 - A marking point on a Kossel line.

6 - Marker of the area used for calculating the line profile and the profile box. There are two profiles in the profile box and two different areas covered by the marker; the corresponding entities have the same color. The edge of the marker indicated by a dot corresponds to the left side of the profile box. 

7 - Hide and display marked lines.

8 - Clear marked lines; deletes all lines for the displayed pattern.

9 - Call the settings tabs; the same effect as menu Settings.

10 - Kinematically simulated line diagram for the current settings.

11 - Fine-tuning box; changes settings based on kinematically simulated line diagram.

12 - Fitting pattern center based on the geometry of Kossel lines.

13 - Fitting pattern center and sample-to-detector distance based on orientation and geometry of Kossel lines.

14 - Indexing of marked lines.

15 - Save data (settings and locations of lines) for the displayed pattern. 

16 - Determination of strain components, pattern centers and/or camera lengths.

17 - Frame for profile-based determination strain.

18 - Inversion of grayscale.
