bb_SnapshotArea Create View

You can define interesting views and display them again at any time. What is special where these views are concerned, is that the defined zoom factor, and the image segment on display, will also be saved with them. To do this, use the Create View button to define a view. You will find this button in the Annotations tool window.

Defining a new view

1.Set up the image segment that interests you optimally in the image window. That is to say, select an appropriate zoom factor, and an appropriate image segment. To do this, use, e.g. the Image Navigator tool window.

2.Should the Annotations tool window be hidden, use the View > Tool Windows > Annotations command to make it appear.

3.Click the Create View bb_SnapshotArea button.

4.A view will be set up, which saves the currently-displayed image segment. This view will be displayed in the Annotations tool window. By default, your software supplies the name "View + <consecutive number>".

Activating a view in the "Annotations" tool window

1.Put another image segment on display in the image window than the one that has been defined in the view. Use, for example, the [Ctrl + 0] shortcut to have the complete image displayed in the image window.

2.Should the Annotations tool window be hidden, use the View > Tool Windows > Annotations command to make it appear.

3.Doubleclick the name of the view in the Annotations tool window.  

The image window will then display precisely the image segment that has been saved in the view.

Activating a view in the Image Navigator

1.Should the Image Navigator tool window be hidden, use the View > Tool Windows > Image Navigator command to make it appear.

2.Click the name of the view once, in the Annotations tool window.

3.The image segment that has been defined in the view will be displayed in the Image Navigator tool window, framed in green.

4.Please note that you do not alter the image display in the image window with a single click. This means that you can first look at the position of the view in the Image Navigator. Then you can still decide whether you want to change the image display in the image window.

3.Now activate the view. You activate the view either in the Annotations tool window, by doubleclicking on the view's name, or you activate the view directly in the Image Navigator tool window. To do this, move your mouse pointer onto the edge of the green frame in the Image Navigator. As soon as the mouse pointer has taken on the shape of a hand, click with your left mouse button.

4.The image window will then display precisely the image segment that has been saved in the view.
