The Create Line Bisect Points edit control provides a graphical user interface to the CreateLineBisectingPointPoint method, which creates a new line by bisecting the segment defined by points (StartX, StartY) and (EndX, EndY). The edit control allows you to configure the two points, dictate which graphics appear as the tool executes, and view tool results. The following figure shows the Create Line Bisect Points edit control:

The edit control offers the following features:

• A row of control buttons at the top left
• A set of function tabs to define the two input points, choose what graphics the tool will use, and view results
• An image display window for displaying tool images and graphics

You can experiment with the edit control by using QuickBuild to create a CogCreateLineBisectPoints tool. A new CogCreateLineBisectPoints tool appears as shown in the following figure:

To include the edit control in your custom vision application, you must first add it to your Visual Studio.NET development environment. See Using Edit Controls in Your Custom Vision Applications for more information.

The following table describes the function of each button:

Table 1. Control buttons

Button	Description	Function
	Run	Creates a new line by bisecting the segment defined by the two input points
	Electric mode	Toggles electric mode, where the Create Line Bisect Points tool executes automatically when particular configuration parameters change. In electric mode, a lightning bolt appears next to every electric property
	Local image display	Opens or closes the local image display window. A Create Line Bisect Points tool supports the following image buffers: The Current.InputImage buffer contains the current image and the two input points The LastRun.InputImage buffer contains the results of the tool after it bisects the line segment defined by the two input points
	Floating image display	Opens one or more floating image windows, which support the same image buffers as the local image display window
	Open	Opens a VisionPro persistence (.vpp) file that contains a set of saved properties for this vision tool object type. VisionPro reports an error if you try to open a .vpp file for another object type.
	Save	Saves the current properties of the vision tool to a VisionPro persistence (.vpp) file. The edit control allows you to choose between saving the vision tool with or without its image buffers and tool results.
	Save As	Saves the current properties of the vision tool to a new VisionPro persistence (.vpp) file
	Reset	Resets the vision tool to its default state.
	Show ToolTips	Enables or disables the display of tooltips for individual items in the edit control
