Lines
The Free and Spline line tools have their own buttons. The other line tools, however,
share one button. To change among the Vertical , Horizontal , and Diagonal line tools,
hold down the button that’s currently displayed to reveal a menu.
Free : draws freehand, just like using a pencil. Each time you press the mouse
button (or push down on the pen), you begin a new line.
Spline : automatically draws a smooth curve between the points you click, in
the order that you click them. When drawing a spline, you may click on the
video to add new points, or click and drag the white rectangles that designate
existing points. Only one spline may exist per video. If a spline already exists when
you click the Spline button, it is “brought forward” to be edited. To remove it and
start over, click the Undo button.
Vertical : constrains the line you draw to be straight up and down.
Horizontal : constrains the line you draw to be level.
Diagonal : lets you draw a line at any angle you want. Whether or not the
angle measurement persists on the screen is determined by a software option.
Angles
The angle tools share a single button. To switch between these tools, hold down the
angle tool button that is currently displayed.
Variable : allows you to draw an angle of any degree. Position the cursor at
one of the endpoints of the angle. Click and draw the first leg of the angle
toward the apex (corner). Release the button and reposition the cursor at the
other endpoint. Now when you click and draw, an angle measurement will appear.
Release the mouse button to complete the angle.
Right : only right angles are drawn. Begin at the apex (corner), then click and
draw in the direction of one of the endpoints.
Posture : draws posture angles, which are comprised of three lines with angle
measurements at the hip and knees. To draw a posture angle, click and draw
a line from the shoulders to the hips. Then, click the knees and then finally
the ankles.
