Parameters

Check minimum element length

This option checks whether elements are less than the length entered in the Minimum length input field. Elements that are shorter than the value specified here are deleted. The two adjacent elements are trimmed.

Polygonise circles with larger radius

This option polygonises all circles whose radii are larger than the radius specified in the input field.

Ignore certain colours

Here, you can activate that certain colours are ignored for cleaning. The numbers of the colours are entered into the input field separated by semicolons.

Diameter tolerance for merging full circles

Here, you enter how large the tolerance range for merging full circles should be. Full circles with the same centre, but different diameters, whose difference lies within the tolerance range, are fused to form the smaller full circle.

Tolerance for return of polygonised full circles

The tolerance value that determines whether a full circle is generated from a polygonised circle is entered here. The basis is half the segment height of an element of the polygonised circle. If the number of elements of a contour is less than 9 and the tolerance value is greater than or equal to 0.5 mm, no full circle is generated.

Set text flags: _ERROR

Set the text "_ERROR" for open contours. The text "_ERROR" can be deleted using the Clean function.
