Select
the Manual option in the Mode
frame to operate in the manual-patterning
mode (see the topic Cellider
User Interface to familiarize your self with Cellider’s interface
elements).
Patterning
To pattern do the following:
- Press
the toggle button above the map area (labeled Click to Zoom or Click
to Pattern) once or twice, until the annotation to the left reads
“Patterning.”
- Toggle
an individual cell between it’s on and off states by repeatedly clicking
on it with the mouse. The outline of an off cell is drawn in pink. To switch
several cells at once select them by a sweeping mouse action similar to
zooming described below. Upon releasing the mouse, the states of the
selected cells are switched. Whenever a patterning action is applied to any
portion of the array map, the on cells are turned off and the off cells are
turned on.
- Press
the Apply to Magsimus button
transfers all defined patterns to Magsimus.
Zooming
You can zoom in and out of various regions of the map in
order to take a closer look and/or apply patterning. Zooming is carried out as
follows:
- Press
the toggle button above the map area (labeled Click to Zoom or Click
to Pattern) once or twice, until the annotation to the left reads
“Zooming.”
- Click
and hold down the left mouse button over one corner of the intended zoom
region. Without releasing the mouse button drag the mouse to the intended
corner opposite the first and release the mouse button. A "rubber
band" rectangle of the zoom is swept out while dragging the mouse and
this region is displayed to fill up the extents map area upon releasing the
mouse.
- To
revert back to the un-zoomed state, double-click the mouse inside the map
area box.
