Point labels and sample comments

Before you start to record a new group of data you may register a "label" or "key word" for that group.
Just write down your word (like "No 1:") into the Point label text box.
When you then click to register a new point, the label will be attached to that point.

If you have several points within a group of data (group data mode), there is only one label saved for the whole group, though you may enter it for any one of the points.

The labels will be written at the end of the lines in your data file, like

6,49 1,19 9,93 1,63 7,84 1,52 8,00 2,19 8,41 2,41 8,60 2,36 7,80 3,06 #No 1:
17,74 2,09 21,21 2,44 19,11 2,43 19,17 3,04 19,75 3,30 19,92 3,25 19,13 3,95 #No 2:

If you want to change a label, just select a point within the group, change the text in the Point label text box and press Enter on your keyboard. This easy way of changing a label is new in CooRecorder7!

Putting labels on points is a very useful way to mark suspected and even disabled points.

A point with a label will look like this in a dendro file:

14.52,77.00
14.60,80.18
14.60,80.94 #false ring?
14.71,82.63

It will even get plotted in CDendro diagrams!

Long labels: If you double click in the Point-label field, the field will get wider so that you can enter a longer label text if necessary. Double-click again in the field to make it normal.

The comment button

Click this button to enter a comment about your data. The comment will be stored into the coordinate file together with your coordinate data like this:

Comments in dendro-files are read by CDendro and can easily be transfered to collections and decadal format files (.rwl). For more info, see the section on comments in the CDendro help.
