MorphoDig 1.6.7 (2022-10-31)

New feature in MorphoDig 1.6.7 ( https://morphomuseum.com/downloadMorphodig ):

• Scalar values (median, mean etc.) can now be extracted along an axis of interest (for instance to extract thickness profiles along a relevant axis)

MorphoDig 1.6.5 (2022-3-10)

New features in MorphoDig 1.6.5 ( https://morphomuseum.com/downloadMorphoDig ):

• flag landmarks can now be mirrored (bug correction)
• display is now correct for screens having more than 1920*1080 pixels
• volume rendering now works on a larger number of computers
• VTK 9.1 is now used
• QT 5.15.2 is used

MorphoDig 1.6.4 (2021-5-18)

MorphoDig 1.6.3 (2021-4-29)

• Curves are now refreshed after opening a POS file to changle the position of curve nodes and curve handles
• Non-desired curve segments can now be exported as 0 equidistant landmarks (a minimum of 2 equidistant semi-landmarks per segment was previously required )
• Possibility to avoid curve milestone duplication when exporting curve segments separated with a milestone to equidistant landmarks
• Export curves as TPS / Landmarks => save as TPS: the name of the TPS file is now included at the end of the file (pattern: "IMAGE=Filename"). This is useful when you need to concatenate later on several .TPS files to create a single .TPS file containing different specimens (using R for instance).

MorphoDig 1.6.2 (2021-3-05)

• SSAO is disabled by default, and its settings are now dependent on scene size (when opening "small" objects, the rendering should be improved; e.g. much less dark)
•  2D image sequence should be opened and ordered correclty again (VTK8 and VTK9 manage image sequences' orders differently, which causes MorphoDig 1.6.1 to render volumes opened out of 2D stacks as "mirror images" : front to back images where opened as back to front, and vice versa)

MorphoDig 1.6.1 (2021-2-11)

• This version uses VTK 9
• Two new scalars are available : volume and area computation of each surface or each non-connex element of each surface.
• Possibility to use  "Screen-Space ambiant occlusion" (SSAO) to better render 3D surfaces (but be aware that transparent screenshots do not work using SSAO rendering).

MorphoDig Tutorial 15: 3D printing models (2021-1-11)

MorphoDig 1.6.0 (2020-12-17)

• Each curve segment can be exported into a different number of equidistant semi-landmarks
• New shortcuts for semi-landmarks digitization : "Shitf + Left click => new curve start" ; "J + Left click=> new curve milestone"; "K+ Left click => connect to preceding starting node"
• Create curve handles for selected curve nodes.
• Edit first selected landmark window : refresh button added to update coordinates

• Possibility to select "small" surface objects (with triangle number < some value)
• Possibility to select surfaces having a small volumes (with volume in mm3< some value)

• Edit first selected surface window: new button to apply position of currently selected surface to all other opened surfaces (and not to only the selected ones)
• New window to change the color of all selected surfaces without altering currently set transparency.

MorphoDig first version released (2018-4-15)

• MorphoDig uses the GPU rendering features of VTK (GPU acceleration, fast real time rendering of surface object with nice transparency)=> this is the reason why ISE-MeshTools had to be replaced by a new software written from scratch.
• "Undo" (CTRL+Z) and "Redo"(CTRL+Y) stacks are implemented (applies when objects are moved, loaded, deleted, landmarks reordered etc. most useful to correct mistakes).
• The user interface is in Qt. This is much better to let elements of the user interface communicate with each other.

• Paths containing accents and file name containing accents are now accepted

• Tag edition.

ISE-MeshTools 1.3.4 (2017-11-16)

• Design concept section added: acknowledgements to FoRM-IT software.

ISE-MeshTools 1.3.3 released (2016-12-09)

• MeshTools "open ntw" function now allows spaces (" ") in paths and file names
• A minor vtk 7.X.X compatilibity issue has been corrected (which arose when using VBO display mode)
• Flag and Tag minor issues have been corrected

ISE-MeshTools 1.3.1 released (2016-4-04)

• Zoom

ISE-MeshTools should now display correctly objects of both very large and small size (the "auto-zoom" and "clipping-plane" related functions have been corrected).

• Colours

Colours should be now correctly saved within .PLY files

• Landmark edition

• Landmark digitization

ISE-MeshTools 1.3 released (2016-1-11)

• ISE-MeshTools is now crossplatform (thanks to the contributions of Stefan Schlager and Jean Dumoncel).
• A few corrections have been brought regarding colour display when VBO functions are used (graphic card acceleration).
• MeshTools.ini is now located at a user's specific location.
• When freshly compiled/installed, MeshTools.ini does not exist and is now created with convenient default values.
• Tag colours and labels, as well as object/grid/background colours can now be reinitialized.
• The camera can rotate around objects centre of mass (and not only around 0,0,0), which is convenient when users prefer not to modify the original position of an object.
• Possibility to automatically adjust landmark display size, depending of the size of the objects currently opened.
• Project files now include tags/landmarks/flags/curves/orientation labels.

ISE-MeshTools is now open source, and compilable under Linux (2015-11-26)

ISE-MeshTools 1.2 released (2015-11-12)

• GPU acceleration using VBO (to activate it : click on "Viewing opt. => VBO activate). Be aware that GPU acceleration is NOT activated by default, as it may crash on certain systems without up to date graphic card drivers / old computers.
• Deformable template functions in "Edit selected surfaces=>Structure modification=>Registration ICP". These functions are quite complex to use. So please wait the forthcoming tutorial / updated version of the user's guide.
• Again the "Save Flags" function was corrected, as it contained a persistent bug.

ISE-MeshTools 1.0.4 released (2014-11-04)

• Improvement of the behaviour consistency of the "View Hide objects" window. Now, no hidden object can be deleted.
• Normales can now optionnally be saved within .PLY file (we use this feature to create .NXS files on MorphoMuseuM).
• For the sake of consistency, the "Save Flags" function was modified. Now, the vector giving the direction of each flag has always a length of "1". This has no impact on the aibility of ISE-MeshTools to open .flg files generated by older versions of the software.

ISE-MeshTools 1.0.3 released (2014-8-28)

• Issue fixed : files containing non ASCII characters (accents) and files with paths containing no ASCII characters can be opened

• zoom / unzoom using the mouse wheel button
• for simplification purposes the general option window was split in four smaller windows
• flag landmarks can be given a colour and a length
• object RGB colours can be saved in .ply files.
• RGB colours enclosed in .ply files can be converted into tags
• an orientation helper was added.
• possibility to view/hide several objects via the "View Hide objects" window
