6.10.3.2   Symbols

The Training File Window provides the following options for editing symbols:

• Add a symbol

  To add a new symbol to a training file, either

  • press the toolbar button Add Symbol Name or
  • select the menu entry Edit ▹ Add Symbol Name.

• Delete a symbol

  Select the symbol you want to delete and either

  • press Del on your keyboard or
  • select the menu entry Edit ▹ Delete.

• Rename a symbol

  To assign the samples to another symbol, just edit the symbol name. This action is equal to moving the symbol (and therefore all samples that are assigned to this symbol) via drag and drop to another symbol. Note that it is also possible to assign single samples to a new symbol. To learn more about assigning samples to a new symbol class, read the information about modifying samples in the paragraph 'Improve your training file' in the section Sample Inspection Window.

• Copy a symbol

  A symbol and all samples that are assigned to this symbol can be copied to another training file. To copy and paste a symbol, either

  • drag and drop the symbol while pressing Shift or
  • press Ctrl+C followed by Ctrl+V, or
  • select the menu entry Edit ▹ Copy followed by Edit ▹ Paste.

• Move a symbol

  A symbol can also be moved via drag and drop

  • to another symbol in the same training file,
  • to another symbol in a different training file, or
  • it can also be added to a different training file by moving it there.

  Moving a symbol (and therefore all samples that are assigned to this symbol) to another symbol is equal to assigning a new symbol name explicitely.
