6. Graphical User Interface¶
6.1. Main Tables¶
The graphical user interface contains two main tables:
the list of points, containing for each point:
number
class
name
initial coordinates or their variation after compensation
the list of observations, containing for each observation:
observation number
a checkbox to activate or deactivate the observation
name of the observation’s starting point
name of the observation’s target point
observation type
observation precision (\(\sigma\))
initial/final normalized residual (\(Res\ \sigma\))
All information contained in these two tables can be sorted by any column.
Tooltips are available to give more information on the cells.
It is possible to increase the size of one of the tables by sliding the central vertical separation. If you hide one table, the other one will show extra information such as:
for points:
number of active observations to the point
empirical confidence interval per element/parameter
for observations:
residue of the observation in mm
number of active observations to the target point
redundancy of the observation in % (see Normal Matrix Inversion)
6.2. Changing Observation Status¶
By clicking on the Act field of an observation you can activate or deactivate it.
You can relaunch the computation to check if you isolated an error.
Note
The Comp3D graphical user interface does not change the .obs file.
Warning
Reloading files, with Reload, leads to the loss of all changes regarding the observations status deactivate/activate.
You have to record deactivated observations in the .obs file (see Deactivated Observations).
6.5. Software Language Preferences¶
Interface language can be changed via Comp3D>Language menu.
