Graphical interface:
The « Image, Stack and Timelapse Arrow Labelling toolset » [4] has been developped both to simplify user’s work, and to make the first demonstration of graphical interface in macro language: a preview window shows user’s choices, before applying them to an image. The aim of the tool is to annotate images or time-lapse movies with customisable arrows (Gray C et al [5]). The two examples below show the advantages of this method.
Above: standard pop-up menu, used to set the user’s choices of an arrow maker tool [6].
The next picture shows the advantages of an intuitive graphical interface, to set the arrow direction instead of selecting the cardinal names. In the same way, color and size can be immediately seen at the target point into a preview sample of the working image.
