Clicking on the surface will highlight the vertex that you clicked with blue lines fanning from the vertex. If you then click another point, the previous point will turn white and the next clicked point will be blue. attachment:tksurfer_cursor.jpg In this picture, the user clicked three points from left to right. The right point is blue because it was the one last clicked, and is considered the location of the cursor, so information about that point is in the Cursor area of the Tools window. The remaining white vertices, or previously clicked vertices, are considered marked. These are used for drawing lines, explained later. |

Viewing Area
TkSurfer consists of two windows. The top window, called the Display Window, shows the currently loaded surface and its overlays. The bottom window, called the Tools Window, contains controls and feedback information.
Information about the currently displayed data can be obtained by moving the mouse over the Display window or by clicking to select a vertex. As the mouse is moved in the display window, the Mouse section of the Tools window will display information about the vertex under the tip of the mouse arrow. Information about the vertex clicked on is displayed in the Cursor section.
The view is configured with various dialog boxes and options available from the View menu. From this menu, you can configure the toolbars and labels available in the Tools window, various aspects of the surface, curvature, and overlays, and the time course graph window.
Clicking on the surface will highlight the vertex that you clicked with blue lines fanning from the vertex. If you then click another point, the previous point will turn white and the next clicked point will be blue.
