Combine Slider

Combine Slider is a control to help Combine tinker with databases more conveniently. It takes in one database and outputs information so that Combine can use three different slices of that database. It can also perform horizontal and vertical offsets within each slice.

Controls

Buttons

Track button is the same as all other track buttons; when it is on, applications to which Combine Slider is linked update as fast as possible. When it is off, they update when sliders stop moving.

Sliders

The top three sliders are depth control; they pick which slice of a database is used in Combine. The three slices correspond to the A, B, and C databases respectively. This is a handy way to combine different slices within the same database. If different databases are dropped into Combine, the slides will work as foreign sliders, moving within the database, but not indicating correct depth information in the slider.

The bottom three sliders add horizontal offsets to the slices. This wraps around, so each line of a slice contains the same information as always, just pushed right or left.

Tricks and Gotchas

Combine Slider can be used for forward differencing; combine A-B and set B to be one or more pixels offset.
