7.2 Behavior of the Graphical Entry Page

The information on the Graphical Entry page is organized as follows:

Mouse Cursor

Indicated by a cross hair.

Calibration Points

Indicated by circles connected by a straight line.

Aim Point

Indicated by a 'hollow cross;' the precise location of the selected aim point is the center of the cross.

Entered Shots

Indicated by solid circles

Group Centroid

Indicated by a colored square

In addition, several features of the Graphical Entry Page can be configured according the user's taste or usefulness for a particular target/group. These include:

Set Background Color

Opens a dialog to select the background color for the Picture Box of the Graphical Entry Page. Use this to increase contrast if taping targets to the screen or to define the limits of the imported target image. If the Background Color box is checked in the Default Options Window, this color will be stored as the ShotStat default when ShotStat exits.

Full Screen Cursor

Toggles the full cursor cross hairs extending to the limits of the Graphic Entry Page Picture Box. This can be useful for locating the mouse cursor location if taping targets to the screen. If the Full Cursor box is checked in the Default Options Window, this setting (yes/no) will be stored as the ShotStat default when ShotStat exits.

Show Centroid

Toggles drawing of the group centroid, which is the average group center as computed from the shot data. The centroid is plotting as a square in a different color from the circular shot data markers. The centroid may help troubleshoot site alignment problems (by comparing to the shooter's aim point), non-zero sites, etc. If the Group Centroid box is checked in the Default Options Window, this setting (yes/no) will be stored as the ShotStat default when ShotStat exits.

Axes Through Aim Point

Toggles drawing a full screen cross hair intersecting at the entered aim point. This divides the target into quadrants with the aim point at the origin. If the Aim Point Axes box is checked in the Default Options Window, this setting (yes/no) will be stored as the ShotStat default when ShotStat exits.
