Hi John, Happy New Year! And thank you for making such a useful program freely available. Would it be possible to tell Reconstruct to generate individual...
To calculate the average thickness of a 2D trace, would it be possible to do the following: Subtract Min X from Max X, giving you the average horizontal...
Alexis, From a longitundinal section through the center of a dendrite, like the image you sent me, the mean width of the segment is the area divided by the...
I would like to verify that the distance measurement is from the center point of the 1st object to the center point of the 2nd object. Thanks, Angelica...
Angelica, I'm not sure what you mean by "distance tool", but if you're asking about the measurements in the Distances List those are distances between the...
Have recently returned to some older data which I produced in October 2005 on my present computer, and am having difficulty in running it. because of the...
Robert, That message appears to be coming from your graphics accelerator hardware. Apparently the OpenGL commands are not able to be executed by the hardware...
Hi, John, I remember in the old version of reconstruct. There is a tool to merger VRML files. But I could not find it in the new version. Sorry for posting...
Jianli, You can still use the VRML merge program located at: http://synapse-web.org/tools/index.stm but this only works on VRML 1.0 files, so you'll need to...
Hello, I have the same exact question as the post that I've copied below, which I can't find an answer to. I'm specifically wondering if the Reconstruct...
Caroline, Reconstruct does not automatically detect the pixel size (e.g. in micrometers) of your image. If you know the pixel size in micrometers just enter...
Hello again John, Thank you so much for your help--now I'm confident in my xy distance measures. However, I have one more basic question about calibration, on...
Caroline, Use the same units for section thickness as for pixel size, in this case, 1 micron. The program should tell you what units are expected when you...
Dear Dr. Fiala, Thank you very much for releasing this great program that saved me a lot of time and frustration. I am now trying to extract the medial axis ...
Thomas, There is a bug in the Boissonant surfacing algorithm that sometimes leaves interior faces. Unfortunately, no resources have been directed at fixing...
Hi John, I'm using the z-trace tool to trace segments of dendrites, and the length measurement listed in the table is the most important piece of data coming...
Caroline, Perhaps you were using the Point-by-Point tracing tool rather than the Z-tool, by mistake? The Point-by-point tool will always flatten the trace to...
Hi John, Actually, I am using the z-trace tool. And the z-traces appear 3-dimensional in the correct way when I first add them to the scene, but when I close...
Caroline, Thanks for this additional information. I see now that there is a bug in how the program writes out the section numbers for z-traces that caused the...
Reconstruct Users, I've posted a new version in the files section of the users group: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/reconstruct_users/files/ that fixes...
Dear all, is there anyone know how to presentations Boissonat surface drawn with front and back faces in wireframe mode? I saw one example in the manual, but...
Bin, Uncheck the Fill boxes in the Color/Transparency dialog (Object List Scene menu) after adding your object to the 3D Scene. John. ... From: binma2 To:...
hi John, Thank you for the message.Now I continue on the Z trace. 1.since I have not regular objects, I use Z-Trace at midpoint to geneate Z trace to smooth...
Bin, I recommend you find a z-trace/filter length combination that gives the best smoothing in Reconstruct, then generate 3D using face normals and export VRML...
Jason, Processor speed and amount of memory are not critical to the performance of Reconstruct, but the 7200 RPM SATA drives will help. Even better would be...
I am having difficulties setting parameters for wild fire. Having prepared some outlines in Photoshop, am having difficulty in getting Reconstruct to recognise...
Robert, Setting wildfire stop criteria to "hue differs by 10" is sufficient to distinguish yellow from brown, but if you're tracing against another background...
The difficulty I am facing is the alignment of one of my images to the next one. After putting the points on both images, I went to Align and clicked Linear....
