Coding Picture Sources

When working in a picture source you can code the picture directly or code the text in the picture log (if there is one).

To code directly on the picture:

  1. Click and drag on the picture to select the required region.  

  1. On the Code menu, click Code Selection.

  2. Choose whether you want to code at new or existing nodes. Refer to Coding at Existing Nodes and Coding at New Nodes for more information.

To code the picture log:

  1. Select the required log text.

  2. On the Code menu, click Code Selection.

  3. Choose whether you want to code at new or existing nodes.

Shadow Coding

When you code a portion of the picture, the associated log text is also indirectly coded, this is called shadow coding.

For example, if you code the picture and display coding stripes you can see the shadow coding on the log:

 

                    Coding for the selected node is displayed with a yellow highlight

  

 

 

The shadow coding is displayed as a lighter coding stripe

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Click on the Log tab to see what has been coded (or shadow coded) in the picture log.

Hiding Shadow Coding

To hide shadow coding:

On the View menu, click the Shadow Coding option.
