After picking this option on the toolbar, you can choose from a list of available Lines.
Having two lines, the software automatically calculates the angle between its intersection.
Simple Line
If you select the Simple Line tool, a line will be automatically added to the image. To place the line in the appropriate position, grab the handles on the line with the left mouse button and drag them to the most appropriate position.
When using two simple lines that intersect, you are given the angles at that intersection.
Center Line
With the Center Line tool, you can locate the center line of the long bones. To do so, it is necessary to adjust the four points to the bone edges. Doing that, the software automatically adjusts the central line. After selecting this option, in the section that appears on the left side of the software, the tool appears over the image. You can then adjust the tool points to the locations that appear most suitable.
Joint Line
With the Joint Line tool, you can select the slope, location, and orientation of the line of the joint for several measurements, such as evaluation of deformity, joint replacement, pre-operative planning, etc. After selecting this option, in the section that appears on the left side of the software, the tool appears over the image. You can then adjust the tool points to the locations that appear most suitable. By adjusting the points, you can adjust the angle, its orientation (top-down) and direction (left-right).
