Feature Grid Tab

the feature grid display in the feature grid tab, the user can display any available calculated results in a grid format of the particle/grains/segment, which fits into each of these calculated categories (below) select a calculated result to view from the calculation property drop down menu the subsequent properties displayed for selection will depend on the parameters available for the selected calculation note that the list of available calculations may vary based on mode of data collection (e g , granulated vs block) and layer selection (segment, grain, or particle) note! the results in a feature grid will change depending on the selected layer see docid\ dd90gyelaucrypuendpay for an explanation of layers, segments, and grains note the difference between the segment layer, and the same data with grain layer or particle layer selected below display options select image type select the image type be selecting the image type drop down located in the image properties area of the property window the particle grid can show bse, segmented, and mineral idenified data selection data property options allow the user to select a subset of minerals to work with (selection) or an area of the sample, instead of working with all the data sort direction use sort direction to sort grains (grain layer active) or particles (particle layer selected) according to area, bse or shape this will sort the objects in each cell use the fit line up button in the docid 87wo70x af8 tdfourhr5 area to fit the grains or particles to the current screen dimensions fit the cell to fit the current cell entirely in the screen, right click in the data window and select fit current cell from the context menu show measurement properties the docid\ j mnqauzwrnwokescozsn shows measurement, sample, and mineral properties when when the window is active show or hide the static information by using the "g", "s", "m", and "p" buttons in the top of this area fit the line up to fit the grid to the current window, select fit line up from the data viewer section of the main ribbon this will fit grains/particles to the current zoom factor in line up mode this will shorten and lengthen the line of particles to fit the screen exactly this command will change the zoom factor to fit the line without changing the zoom factor, right click and select fit current zoom factor from the context menu fit whole grid to view the entire grid at the same time select fit image from the data viewer section of the main ribbon or right click in the measurement viewer are and select fit whole grid from the context menu x ray points in feature grid x ray points can be activated in the featuregrid tab to verify mineral identification or to investigate unknowns (below) view x ray points to overlay points (identified as crosses) where x ray data were collected, select the x ray points icon from the main toolbar the positions will not be visible at low magnification zoom with the scroll wheel on the mouse to reveal the x ray point positions when hovering the mouse over an x ray point location the associated spectrum will be displayed at the bottom of the screen (below) focus on an x ray in particle mode to focus or lock on an x ray point (freezing the spectrum for further interaction) click on the cross moving the mouse over the x ray display, at the bottom of the image display, will activate a cursor (line) indicating the position of k line positions (black line) pressing “l” on the keyboard will change the line to red, which will then indicate possible l line positions (below) the colors of the spectra lines and x ray points can be changed in the color option context menu in the manu menu ribbon (below) press "ctrl" with the image highlighted to toggle the views in the x ray overlay in the upper right hand the total counts, height ratio, detected mineral, and (if matched) standard matched to is displayed (below) the views are (1) standard, (2) unknown, (3) standard, and (4) difference the right click menu in the feature grid allows the user to mark a particle this particle can then be located in the sample images tab or vice versa other useful functions from the right click menu include fit view options, as well as select all particles of cell generate a mineral standard the feature grid tab can be used as part of the docid 0k7ynw0jwouof8govjubk to generate a mineral standard right click on a x ray point and select generate mineral standard from the context menu this will use docid\ nixjgev mpdn3qeet9wzz to make a new mineral standard that can be matched in the docid\ zuprkvz35edykn6kcncza tab working with the feature grid selecting particles right click to select an object only one particle or grain (depending on the selected layer) can be selected at a time selections are persistent between tabs and can be used to work with the data delete selected particles by selecting delete from the tools area of the main ribbon show the particle properties window by selecting the show selected particle properties from the addition options under the prop button in the tools area of the main ribbon use the data selection in the property window to only display the selected particles in the feature grid selections can be made on the sample images tab and used in the feature grid mark particle right click and select mark the particle to mark one particle or grain (depending on the layer selected) only one particle can be marked at a time and the marked particle is persistent between tabs the marked particle can be used to locate a particle from the feature grid tab quickly in the sample image tab it is also easy to use the right click context menu to zoom into the marked particle copy particle images right click and select copy image to copy the screen, ctrl + c has the same result to export the screen image to a file, use the all export=>export image option in the other tools menu table in the main menu open the particle property window the docid\ yv4msb6oqcaddrrmfbbwq is a useful tool for working with particle properties on a particle by particle level from this window the particles (either the selected particles, the particles in a cell, or all particles) can be filtered, sorted, and the data copied or exported to open the particle property window select the prop button from the main ribbon it is also possible to right click and select extra > show particle properties of cell to open the docid\ yv4msb6oqcaddrrmfbbwq
