Adding Labels to the Morphed Sequence

Menu Options
Step-by-Step Summary

Menu Options

• Font: Click on this button to choose the font type, style, size, and color for the caption labels.
  • Automatic Text Color: Check this box if the program should automatically render black text to white or white text to black if the background color changes from white to black.
    
    
• Position: Use the displayed radio buttons to select the position for the text in the view pane. RockPlot3D maintains a boundary zone around the current image (sometimes overlapping it if the window is small or the image zoomed) in which the labels "float" independently of the image. The label will not be resized as you change the size of the RockPlot 3D window or the zoom state of the 3D scene.
  
  
• Horizontal Offset: Use this item to make small adjustments to the horizontal positioning of the labels. An entry of "0" (default) will place the labels at the indicated Position (above). A setting of "0.1" will bump the labels slightly to the right. A setting of "-0.1" will move the labels slightly to the left. You should adjust the position in increments of 0.1 or the labels may get bumped off the screen.
  
  
• Vertical Offset: Use this item to make small adjustments to the vertical positioning of the labels. An entry of "0" (default) will place the labels at the indicated Position (above). A setting of "0.1" will bump the labels slightly upward. A setting of "-0.1" will move the labels slightly downward. You should adjust the position in increments of 0.1 or the labels may get bumped off the screen.
  
  
• Captions: Use the cells to the right to enter a caption for any/all of the morph frames.
  ! Remember that the morphed sequence is created from your "end-member" solid models with a user-specified number of intermediate models. For example, if you input 4 RwMod files with 2 "increments", you'll have 10 available frames available for labeling. In the example below, the "inferred" labels show the intermediate, averaged models in the sequence.
