Image SXM
Displays the selected curvilinear object, such as a chromosome, as it would appear if it was straightened out. The object can be selected by clicking on the two ends (after the menu item is selected) or by using a straight, freehand or segmented line drawn along the object (before the menu item is selected). The Session Log displays two values for the length of the straightened object: (i) the distance between the points specified by the user mouse clicks (or the start and end points of the line), and (ii) the distance between the points at which the intensity of the object has fallen to 1/e of the values at the points specified in (i). Thus, if the user selects an object by clicking on points slightly inside the ends of the object, then length (i) will be slightly less than length (ii).
