Hi,

I am trying to observe cell movements using PIVlab3.01.
I would like to analyze the movements of cells by using “Extract parameters from poly-line” in “Extractions”.  
My question is, what is "Tangent velocity" in "Extract parameters from poly-line"?
What kind of velocity does it indicate?

Regards
Yuto

Hi, it is the velocity component that is tangent to the line / circle you have drawn.
