Displaying MIPAV Toolbars

The Toolbars menu contains check boxes for each of the four toolbars: Image, Paint, Scripting, and VOI. Use these check boxes to select which toolbars should appear. See Figure 16.

By marking or clearing these check boxes, you can choose which toolbars to display and which to hide. For example, suppose you just started MIPAV a moment ago. You then open an image. The MIPAV window expands in size and displays its full complement of menus. Although it displays the VOI, Scripting, and Image toolbars, you want to work with the Paint toolbar as well as the Image toolbars. However, you don't need to use the VOI and Scripting toolbars. The next section explains how to hide and show toolbars.

To hide the VOI and Scripting toolbars and display the Paint toolbar

1 Select Toolbars > VOI to hide the VOI toolbar. MIPAV removes the check mark from the check box and removes the VOI toolbar from the MIPAV window.

2 Select Toolbars > Scripting to hide the Scripting toolbar. MIPAV removes the check mark from the check box and removes the Scripting toolbar from the MIPAV window.

3 Select Toolbars > Paint to display the Paint toolbar. The program marks the check box and displays the Paint toolbar in the MIPAV window.

Because the Image toolbar is already displayed, you do not need to do anything.

Selecting views

A view refers to the way an image file is displayed. A view indicates how many images are shown at one time and whether images are advanced manually or automatically. Depending on the view, the size and shape of the image window in which an image is displayed can vary. MIPAV allows you to display images using the following views:


Icon	View	Icon	View
	Default		Surface plotter
	Animate		Volume renderer</div>
	Cine (movie)		Tri-planar</div>
	Lightbox		Tri-planar dual</div>
</font></div>	Link to another image</div>		Volume Tri-planar </div>

This section explains how to display image files in the default, lightbox, and cine view. To learn how to display image files in other views, refer to Chapter 6 in the MIPAV User's Guide.
