Overlays and Colours

The ``Overlays and Colours'' panel is used to turn various overlays features on and off, and to set the colour in which to display them. It may be invoked from the ``Overlay Colours'' entry of the ``Options'' pulldown menu on the main GCPWorks control panel.

WARNING: There have been problems observed with the use of this panel before reaching the GCP collection stage. This artifact causes GCPWorks to core dump. It is therefore advised that users avoid modifying anything on this panel until they have reached the GCP collection phase.

Accepted GCPs

The display of accepted GCPs may be enabled, or disabled using this control. This affects all accepted GCPs on the overview and subwindows and for the uncorrected and georeferenced images. The default colour is red.

Check GCPs

Check GCPs are shown in blue by default, and their enabledness and colour may be controlled separately from the Accepted GCPs. This affects all check GCPs on the overview and subwindows and for the uncorrected and georeferenced images.

Transformed Vectors

When tying down to vectors, it is possible to control the colour in which the first vector layer is displayed using this control. This colour is applied to only the first layer of those loaded using the ``Select Vectors'' step. The rest cannot be modified. The first vector layer in the Georeferenced Overview, Georeferenced Subwindow and the transformed vectors displayed in the Uncorrected Subwindow will all be modified. The default colour for the first vector layer loaded is red.

It is also possible to disable the display of the tiedown vectors in the Uncorrected Selection subwindow using the On/Off toggle control. This does not disable the display of the tiedown vectors in the georeferenced windows.

Mosaic Cut Lines

If a mosaic cut line has been defined using the ``Select Mosaic Area'' step, it is normally displayed in all images windows, by default in yellow. Using this control, it is possible to change the colour, or completely disable the display of mosaic cut lines. This is often useful when previewing mosaic boundaries, in order to provide a clearer view of the border area between registered and original data.

Sampling Rectangles

When the user is performing the ``Colour Matching'' step of radiometric correction, it is necessary to display a sampling region subrectangle in the uncorrected and georeferenced overview windows. This control may be used to change to colour of the displayed rectangles from their default of red. It is not possible to disable the display of the sampling rectangles, though they will disappear when the ``Colour Matching'' step is exited.

Cursor Colour

The colour of the cursor in each of the image windows can be controlled with this option menu. The default colour is yellow.
