While on the icon is highlighted when disabled is to look the same from others. If the tool has already been used when the button turns off the ruler 3D renders are drawn from all points and lines of the ruler and its 3D interface is removed from the left side. Activating the button again ruler of 3D points and lines as well as the interface to be shown again left with the same settings since the last time they were used, but the case is finalized ImageLab settings will be lost. All interactions with the mouse made ruler 3D using the left mouse button. The insertion of the joints is done only renders in Axial, Coronal and Sagittal and is shown only in 3D rendering tool for spatial visualization.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Screenshot-ImageLab.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"386\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">When the\u00a0ruler\u00a03D is\u00a0activated\u00a0under\u00a0each click\u00a0occurred within the\u00a0range\u00a0of the image is\u00a0inserted into\u00a0a\u00a0point that represents\u00a0an\u00a0articulation of the\u00a0ruler.\u00a0In the picture above\u00a0tosee\u00a0the\u00a0first click\u00a0enters the\u00a0starting point of\u00a0measurement\u00a0in the left table\u00a0you can seesome information\u00a0relevant\u00a0to the point\u00a0inserted: the coordinates\u00a0&#8220;X&#8221;, &#8220;Y&#8221;\u00a0and &#8220;Z&#8221; respectively, the distance\u00a0&#8220;D&#8221;\u00a0that point\u00a0to\u00a0its predecessor,\u00a0and the total distance\u00a0&#8220;DT&#8221;that point to the\u00a0first\u00a0point.\u00a0As this was the\u00a0first\u00a0point,\u00a0the two distances\u00a0mentioned\u00a0have value\u00a00.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Screenshot-ImageLab-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"386\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">As we can see in the picture above, the second click is inserted a new joint. The two points are then connected and information is displayed along the second point. Such information is to measure the distance between two points, and is being used the millimeter (mm) as the unit of measure. As more clicks are being given a few other joints will be inserted sequentially inserted at the last joint.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Screenshot-ImageLab-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"386\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">As you can see in the picture above, the third click is inserted a new joint. In rendering the Axial slice was moved from 171 to 308 and the third joint was inserted in this slice. You can see in 3D rendering the spatial position of any rule.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">This time can also be seen that the lines connecting the dots in different colors as well as one of the points. That&#8217;s because the last point clicked or is created with the color blue than the red color of other points as well as the previous line to the last point that is clicked with the color green, yellow respectful of the other lines.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Screenshot-ImageLab-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"386\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">As you can see in the picture above, the fourth click is inserted a new joint. This time click on the surrender was given Coronal and as you can see in 3D rendering, the line connecting the last point unser the ruler crosses the slice that represents the Sagittal surrender. This is because the rule concerns only the coordinates it imposed. The table left, we see these coordinates &#8220;X&#8221;, &#8220;Y&#8221; and &#8220;Z&#8221; and the distance &#8220;D&#8221; representing the distance between this outcast, last inserted point and its direct predecessor and the total distance &#8220;DT&#8221; which reprresenta distance inserted between the last point and the point of origin of the ruler, ie, the first point entered.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Screenshot-ImageLab-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"386\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Clicking on any one point of a line, a joint is created at this point on the line. With the insertion point of the new measurements are automatically updated as soon as the queue of points while maintaining the order of points on the ruler.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Screenshot-ImageLab-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"386\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">You can also select and drag any of the joints inserted into any surrender. The point clicked will change color as well as their previous line. All coordinates and measurements are automatically updated as the move happens. In the figure above the second point was moved by a great distance. Its coordinates and its distance as well as the distances of all who depend on it are updated in the table and surrender.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Screenshot-ImageLab-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"386\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">When we delete a point using the &#8220;Delete&#8221; button located below the table on the left, this point is removed from the list that makes up the table and it is reordered. The same happens with the ruler, all points are deleted to the point later date. With the departure of point 2, its button (1) and its predecessor (3) are interconnected while maintaining the consistency of measurements and their ruler.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Screenshot-ImageLab-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"386\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">In the figure above all points have been deleted using the &#8220;Delete All&#8221;.
