    418418 * '''Dimension variables:''' these are unique unidimensional variable arrays corresponding to a given dimension, leading to a cell with a single variable, dimension 1. This is interpreted as the set of coordinate values associated with this dimension. An alternative possibility, suitable for a coordiante with a constant grid mesh, is a variable array with two values with the same name as a dimension: it then specifies the lower and upper bounds of the coordinate.
    419  * '''Field cell with structured coordinates:''' this is a cell of several variable(s) sharing the same set of dimensions associated with variables. (addditional dimension may indicate for instance a vector component, not associated with a coordinate).
     419 * '''Field cell with structured coordinates:''' this is a cell of several variable(s) sharing the same set of dimensions associated with variables. (additional dimension may indicate for instance a vector component, not associated with a coordinate).
    420420 * '''Field cell with unstructured coordinates:''' this is a cell of variables sharing the same set of unstructured coordinates, indicated by the attribute Role=coord_x, coord_y, coord_z.
    421421 * '''Thin plate shell (tps) field cell:''' represents an (unstructured) set of coordinates and tps weights in  a way suitable for tps interpolation.
     
    426426 * 'nb_coord': denotes the space dimension for vector components.
    427427 * 'nb_coord_j', 'nb_coord_i': denotes the space dimensions for the two tensor components.
    428  * 'rgb' : denotes the diemension of the color component in a true color  image.
     428 * 'rgb' : denotes the dimension of the color component in a true color  image.
    429429 * 'nb_point' or 'nb_vec' (for vectors) denotes the set of positions with unstructured coordinates.
    430430 * 'nb_tps': dimension of the index for the tps centres.
     
    492492   * 'plane': linear interpolation on a regular grid with meshes DX, DY and ortigin at (X,Y)=(0,0). This grid is bounded by the two values of RangeX and RangeY along X and Y respectively.
    493493
    494  * ''' !ProjMode = 'interp_tps':  '''  this behaves with different objects line 'interp_lin', but using the more precise thin spline shell method. This is particularly usefull to calculate spâtial field derivatives. Furthermore this method provides data exrtrapolation outside the initial convex hull (although it is not reliable at large distances). This mode does require a previous calculation of tps weights, see [#a5.1Gridingofdata section 5.1], so it does not act on the initial field cells with scattered coordinates. This is done by UVMAT if tps projection is requested. Gridded data are linearly interpolated (to clarify...).
    495 
    496  * ''' !ProjMode = 'inside' and 'ouside '''': defined only for closed lines: rectangle, polygon, ellipse. For each field U, its probability distribution function Uhist  inside, or respectively outside,  the line is calculated, as well as the mean Umean (after exclusion of data marked as false). other statistics...

    497497
    498498 * ''' !ProjMode = 'none', 'mask_inside', 'mask_outside': ''' no projection operation. The object is used solely for plotting purpose, to show a boundary or to prepare a mask, inside or outside a closed line, see [#a9-Masksandgrids section 9]).
     
    628628 * `<R>`: rotation matrix (in 3 lines). For the option <[https://servforge.legi.grenoble-inp.fr/projects/soft-uvmat/search?q=wiki%3ACalibrationType !CalibrationType]>= 'rescale', [[BR]] R (i=1)= [pxcmx 0 0] R (i=2)= [0 pxcmy 0] R (i=3)= [0 0 1], [[BR]]where pxcmx and pxcmy are the scaling factors along ''x'' and ''y''.
    629629
    630  * <omc>: 3 components of the rotation vector (this is for diagnostic use, it is redondant with the matrix R used for actual coordinate transforms).  The physical coordinate axis are transformed to the image coordinate axis by a composition of the translation T and the rotation).

    631631
    632632 * <!ErrorRms>: rms difference (in X and Y direction) between the image coordinates measured for the calibration points and the coordinates transformed from their physical coordinates (using the function ''px_XYZ.m in UVMAT'').

    823823=== 11.3 FIX ===
    824 The FIX operation is used after civ to remove false vectors, using different criteria: -''' {warning flags:} ''' these are flags (vec_F) indicating problems with the image correlation process: -*vec_F(i)=0 or 1 : default , the processing is fine -*vec_F(i)=-2: the maximum of the correlation function is close to the border of the search box (at a distance of two pixels or less), so that its maximum cannot be reliably obtained: the search domain is too small -*vec_F(i)=2: (only in civ1) we keep the less accurate Hart result (resulting from combining correlation functions  from neighborhing points) and  vec_C(i)=-1 is chosen by convention. Reference: Hart D. P. (2000) 'PIV error correction',{ Exp. Fluids} '''29''', 13-22. -*vec_F(i)=3: the optimisation of the correlation function is unstable  or  local Intensity rms of the image =0 -*vec_F(i)=4:only in civ2: the difference between the estimator and the result is more than 1 pixel. The two criteria, vec_F(i)=-2, and 3, should be selected (default options). The criterium vec_F=2 (Hart) should not be selected, while vec_F=4 (for civ2) could be selected only for excellent data (otherwise it may be too strict).   -''' {Threshold on the image correlation}  ''' (vec_C) can be introduced by the edit box [thresh_vecC] (value between 0 and 1). It removes vectors with poor correlation.  -''' {Threshold on the velocity modulus } ''' (expressed in pixels): it can remove either too small values  (menu '''[inf_sup1]''' set to '<'), or excessive values (menu '''[inf_sup1]''' set to '>'). Erratic zero velocity vectors, produced by a fixed image background, can be eliminated by this criterium. These criteria can be as well applied to the difference with a reference field, defined by a file series (edit box '''[ref_fix1]''') and a field inside the file (menu '''[field_ref1]'''). -''' {Mask fix:} '''  It has the same effect as the one used in civ1, but the removed vectors are kept in memory, labelled as false. -''' {Manual fix:} ''' Interactive fixing with the mouse is also possible, see [section 4.2->#4.2].
