Applying an Operator or Carrying out a Study
An operator is a mathematical opera-
tion that is applied to a studiable and
generates one or more new studiables.
To apply an operator, select any studiable
(by clicking on it so that its border is dis-
played as a dotted blue line), then select
an operator from the Operators menu (for
example Zoom, Levelling, Rough-
ness/waviness filtering, Form removal
operator...).
A study is a graphical representation
of a studiable (for example, 3D represen-
tation of a surface...) or an analysis done
on a studiable (calculation of the Ra
parameter...)
To apply a study, select any studiable,
then select a study from the Studies
menu.
