Using the Tip Tool
The Tip tool finds the extreme edge, or “tip” of an object or edge by locating the
sharpest angle in the search box area. Tip creates a point that can be used by other
measurements. The default is no measurement enabled. This tool may be useful
when edges are noisy or blurred.
a. Click on the “Tip” button. Move the mouse over the image in the Work Area. You should see
the edges in the image highlighted as you move across them.
b. Find the end or tip of an object or edge that you
wish to track, and Click on it. A point is created
and labeled (Tip1, Tip2) with a rectangle
search box around the point. The Point is
created at the sharpest angle near where you
clicked.
c. With the Tip tool selected, you can drag the sol-
id square in the corner of the rectangle to the
size of the rectangle, or change the scan direc-
tion (as illustrated below) by . Rotate only
slightly, to align the axis of the box with the in-
