Possible information in the info stamp

List of possible information

You define which information will be shown, in the Options > Info Stamp > Properties dialog box.

The left list Available properties shows all of the items of information you can display in the image window. The information about a loaded image that is actually available, depends on the image. If, for instance, an image was acquired with your software, considerably more information will be available than when you load an image from another application program.

To help you keep track of everything, every piece of information is allotted to a functions group. You can reduce every information group to a header. This enables you to hide information that doesn't interest you.

Click the Collapse All Icon_ReduceAll button located at the right of the Available properties list to simultaneously reduce all information groups to their headers.

Click the minus sign minuszeichen next to the name of an information group to reduce only this group to a header.

Click the plus sign pluszeichen to have all of the information displayed again.

List of information used

The right list Selected properties shows all of the items of information that will be shown in the image window when the View > Info Stamp command is used. Every item of information will be shown in its own row.

Note: For some images, some of the items of information that are possible will not be available. For example, the entry [ t ] is only relevant for time stacks. If the active image isn't a time stack, the [ t ] entry won't be displayed in the info stamp.

Preset information

Click the Default button to have the settings in the dialog box returned to the factory settings.
