Swapping head and tail

Sometimes WormLab incorrectly assigns the head to the tail and vice-versa, especially after the worm emerges from an omega bend or fold.

If you see this, you can easily swap the head and tail.

To swap a worm's head and tail:

1. In the top menu, click the Select icon .
2. In the Detection and Tracking panel, click the Repair tab.
3. In the Repair tab, select Entire track OR To end of track.
• Entire track: Swaps the head and tail in all frames for the selected worm.
• To end of track: Swaps the head and tail from the current frame displayed until the end of track for the selected worm

Use to correct after the worm emerges from an omega bend.

4. Click Swap head/tail.
