The Place Animals View

This is the view where you position the animals. You get there by selecting Enter Animal Positions from the Actions menu. This view will be shown automatically if you open an existing file. You can move through the scans by selecting the values in the fields Day, and Scan. You also can switch to the next or previous scan by pushing the + and - keys on your numberblock on your keyboard. You can select a certain animal with the animal field. A selected animal is shown in red. The name of the animal is shown in next to Name beneath the Animal row. The exact position of the selected animal is also shown in the x,y,z fields on the lower right side of the window.

To place an animal push the Place Animals button and make a left click on the map to position it. The animal which you position is the selected animal. The colour of the animal (circle) will turn grey if you clicked. You now can select the height interval. You can see the interval in the z value field on the right of the window. Select the appropriate interval by moving your mousewheel if you use the MS Windows version or use the Page Up/Down keys (this works in all versions) and then click once with the left mousebutton. Once you placed an animal you automatically can place the next animal. If you placed all animals in a scan you can move to the next scan by pressing the + key.

To place the animals more precisly you can either zoom like explained in the map view or you can zoom a certain area. If you press one of the number keys on your keyboard (1-9) the according area it zoomed so that the area is completely visible with the maximum scalefactor. You can go back to scalefactor 1 by pressing the key 0.

Misplaced animals can be deleted by changing into the delete mode by clicking on the Delete Animals button.
