#This is the startup tips file that is passed to wxTipProvider, to generate the startup tips dialog
# each tip must be of the form _("some tip")
# wx docs say : blank lines, and lines starting with # are skipped
_("You can reset the main view by tapping the space bar. Hold down modifier keys like shift,ctrl to change the axis. Double tap to switch which axis to look the other way (+ve or -ve direction)")
_("You can delete filters from the tree by selecting them, then tapping delete?")
_("Multiple languages are supported? You can translate the program into your own language at https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/3depict/")
_("Package files can be easily shared to allow others to view your analysis, using the File->Export->Package menu item. This will automatically import all referenced files (eg pos/rng files) into a single shareable folder")
_("You can export plots to SVG \"Vector\" format, for easier editing - edit your plots in inkscape!")
_("You can access the manual from the Help menu")
_("You can change filter defaults using the Edit->Preferences menu item")
_("You can overlay multiple plots at once, by selecting more than on plot at a time (e.g. using Ctrl)")
_("Calculations are much faster (more than linear speedup) when working with smaller datasets - try sampling, or clipping out a small region to work faster, then remove the sampling when you are ready")
_("You can abort most calculations either by pressing Escape (OSX/Linux), or by using the Abort button (Windows)")
_("That anyone can contribute to improving this program, even without knowing about computer programming? Reporting bugs helps us to prioritise our work, and directs us to fix real problems for all users")
_("You can load more than one file at a time, then either operate on them separately, or together")
_("You can have more than one range file for different parts of your dataset")
_("Cameras can be saved and retrieved whenever you like, using the camera tab")
_("Subsections of the filter tree can be saved to the \"Stashed filters\" drop-down")
_("The console tab along the bottom often shows useful messages from filters. When new messages appear, a small symbol is shown on the tab")
_("The raw data used for any plot can be accessed from the \"Raw\" tab on the bottom panel")
_("You can ask questions about the program, or using it on your data via our forums (https://sourceforge.net/p/threedepict/discussion/general/)")
_("By creating a camera, you can switch between orthographic (parallel) and perspective views")
_("You can open multiple files at once, and get a side-by-side view by translating (shifting) one of the datasets to one side")
_("From version 0.0.20, vector values in filter properties (e.g. \"(1,0,0)\") can be specified using ISO 31-11 spherical coordinates using the following notation <r,theta,phi>, with angles in degrees")
_("You can change the behavior of filter dragging by holding Ctrl (mac: cmd) or Shift whilst dragging? This switches between move, copy and \"splice"\ operations)
_("We like to know where we are being helpful? Please consider writing the program and version number in any work you might publish - whether in print or online. Alternatively, link to our website, or write to us to let us know we helped!")
_("You can merge files by placing two \"Pos Data\" filters in series, then saving the result?")
_("When using the camera 3D cropping tool, you can hold Shift to only move the centre node in one axis (up/down or left/right).)"
