Description of the function groups
Display
Displaying image navigation bar
Time stacks have their own navigation bar directly in the image window. You can find more information on this topic here. Use this navigation bar to specify which frames are to be displayed in the image window.
Clear the Show image navigation toolbar check box to hide the navigation bar in the image window.
Changing the image window's background
The image does not always take up all of the image window's area. That is, for example, the case with a very small zoom factor. You can set a different color for the image window's background.
In the Background list, select the background color you want for the image window. Choose between the Dark (
), Medium (
) and Bright (
) entries.
Canvas
This group effects the display of multi-layer images.
Your software supports multi-layer images that are made up of two or more layers. A layer can contain drawings and/or measurement results, but it can also contain complete images. The Layers tool window provides you with access to the different layers within a multi-layer image.
When do you see the canvas?
You can also display individual layers transparently, to make it possible for you to simultaneously view image information coming from several layers. When you make the bottom image layer transparent, the canvas lying under this image will become visible.
Images of different sizes can also be combined into a multi-layer image. When the image at the bottom is smaller than one of the images above it, the canvas lying right at the bottom will also in this case, become visible.
Changing the appearance of the canvas
Select the way you want the canvas to look from the Pattern list. Choose between the entries Dark (), Medium (), Bright (), and Chessboard.
Frame labeling
In the Frame labeling group, you specify the labeling used in the navigation bar for image series.
Select the Show frame indices option, to have the individual frames numbered serially.
Select the Show values option, to have the values that the individual image characterizes within the image series, specified for each frame.
For time stacks the time that each frame was acquired will be specified.
