Tracing modes

There are multiple tracing methods for contours and neuronal processes. To change the method while tracing, right-click and select a method from the right-click menu.

• Simple click tracing: This is the default method. Click to place a point along an object, move the cursor to a new position then click again to draw a line segment between the two points. Continue to place points until the entire object has been traced.
• Rubber line tracing: This method is similar to simple click tracing. As you move the cursor to a new position, a "rubber line" is drawn from the last point you placed to your current cursor position.
• Continuous tracing: Trace by dragging the mouse.

When you're done tracing an object, right-click and select an ending.

To modify the tracing parameters, use the File > Preferences > Tracing panel.
