You can place one or several vectors. You can set their strength. They will act on the corresponding area of the image.

Smvectors

  In this window you can place your vectors. By clicking on the Add button, you add a vector at the center of the window, whereas clicking with the mouse Middle Button puts it where you click. Vectors are red when selected, and gray when they are not, with a white point at tip.

  Clicking with the mouse Left Button displaces the selected vector to the clicked point.

  Clicking on the mouse Right Button, has no evident action.

  Clicking on << and >> buttons displaces focus from a vector to another.

  The Kill button allows you to delete the selected vector.

  | Tip
  With the scroll bar on the right of the Vectors panel, you can set the image brightness. This can be very useful if the image is very dark/bright and you can't see vectors well.
