The image window provides the tools for displaying and processing images and for saving data. This chapter introduces the basic components of the image window; chapters 5 through 10 cover the details of image processing and analysis, animation and overlays, spreadsheet usage, and palette editing.
The image window consists of the following components and panels:
Save As HDF
Save As Text |
Close |
Save As HDF saves the current data to a new HDF file, preserving the data type.
Save As Text saves the current data into a new ASCII file, which will adhere to the HDF-ASCII Interchange Format.
Close closes the image window.

Undo |
Undo All undoes all the changes that have been made to the current image.

Default hides the data value.
Digital Value displays the value of the data under mouse pointer.
Pixel Value displays the value of the pixel under the mouse pointer.
No Plot disables the plot display.
X-Y Plot creates an X-Y plot of image values (pixel or digital value) along the line crossing the horizontal axis.
Histogram creates a plot of the distribution of image values for the selected image area.
New Palette |
Set Palette |
New Palette opens the palette editor to create a new color lookup table for the current image.
Set Palette applies the current color lookup table to the images in the current display.
Show Statistics |
Convert Data |
Show Statistics displays the basic statistics of the current image or data.
Convert Data converts the current data with the general power function Y = a + b*X^c. The converted data can be save to an HDF or HAIF file.
The selected image and selected close-ups, or zoomed images, appear in the image and zoom panels in the center of the image window.
