16.7.10 Mouse Settings

In the Controllers tab of the Image viewer, 3D reconstruction, Vessel analysis and PET analysis modules’ customization window, the user may assign the operations performed by default in the respective tabs to the mouse buttons, wheel and movements.

In the Mouse wheel operations section, you can set up the operations performed by default when the mouse wheel is rotated (with or without a modifier key).

To enable the selected operation, check the respective option in the Enabled column. If required, choose a modifier key for the selected operation on the drop-down list in the Modifier column.
