How to Execute

Run Directly on Screen

Switch to Add Figure mode and left-click on screen.

The figures are saved to Matching Template Panel and displayed on screen.

Right-click on the displayed figure’s outline to open the context menu containing the following items in addition to the default context menu items.

How to Add a Figure

There are two ways to add a figure: by specifying coordinates or by specifying an area.

Specify Coordinates

Left-click on the screen, the figure existing at the left-clicked position is added. The range of searching for a figure is limited by --matching-figure-search-around option. Figures that exceed this value cannot be added.

See preference Action/Matching Templatepage for detail.

Specify an Area

Left-click the start and end points on screen, figures contained within the selected area are added. Patterns which are partially included in the selected area are added to the template group as lines or poly-lines.

Repeating the selection of area in the screen can extend the line or poly-line.

Poly-lines with fewer than 4 vertices cannot be used for measurement. Figures that are not eligible for measurement are displayed with icon in the datalist.

When the extended line or poly-line contains the entirety of the pattern, it is changed to a polygon.
