ezDIC v0.1.3
Poisson ratio export and GUI workflow update
This release adds a direct Poisson-ratio export workflow for users who define one axial ROI group and one transverse ROI group. It also makes the main analysis action more visible for new users.
What changed
- Added ROI group roles:
none,axial, andtransverse. - Added Poisson-ratio calculation from engineering strain:
PoissonRatio = - TransverseEngineeringStrain / AxialEngineeringStrain. - Added
AxialEngineeringStrain,TransverseEngineeringStrain, andPoissonRatiocolumns tostrain_all_groups.txtwhen axial/transverse roles are set. - Added
poisson_ratio.txtandpoisson_ratio.pngexports when axial/transverse roles are set. - Kept failed tracking frames, missing strain values, and near-zero axial strain as
NaNin Poisson-ratio output. - Improved the right-side GUI workflow area with a compact first-screen layout, a clearer five-step beginner guide, hover tips for key workflow buttons, a prominent start button, and a separate run-status section.
- Disabled the start button during processing to reduce accidental duplicate runs.
