Features
When you first launch Linnaea, you will see a new site window with options to upload an image.

Photo navigation
After uploading the photos taken at a site, you can use the gallery at the bottom to navigate between them.

Within each photo, Linnaea generates 100 equidistant points for species classification. The points can be navigated as well as the image can be panned/zoomed using the controls along the top.
Point classification
Each point can be classified using the menus in the left hand panel. There are different sets of species classifications depending on what angle the site photo was taken from. When you upload a new photo, you will be prompted to choose an angle.

Saving site files
To save your progress for a site to return to later you can save your work as a .site file.

Generate raw data report
Once you're finished classifying points, you can generate a raw data report as a .csv file using the Export raw data option in the file menu. Before generating the report you have to choose a site name and then a save location. Then a .csv file will be generated with all your point classifications for each photo.
