This step helps to arrange the sample lines inside each test section (according to the standard).
For each test section:
-
Choose the appropriate pattern among Parallel and perpendicular and 45 degrees.
-
Define the Number of sample lines (perpendicular to the main direction or the 45 degrees direction).
-
If the Compute button is greyed out, the computation would fail: refer to the notes below.
-
Otherwise, click Compute: a levelness colormap is computed and you can Edit color. In case of failure, refer to the notes below.
Notes
A failure means the computation can't be made according to the standard:
-
increase the number of sample lines (double click the actual number). The FL computation requires a higher cumulative length than FF computation.
-
rearrange the sample lines in orange (sample line too close to another one) and red (sample line crossing a hole in your cloud):
-
automatically:
-
change the pattern mode.
-
change the pattern main direction (only in 45 degrees mode).
-
-
or manually:
-
select one and give it a new position.
-
select one and shorten it using CTRL + MOUSE WHEEL (only in 45 degrees mode).
