== MIPAV splash screen ==

The ''splash screen'' is the window that first appears briefly when you start MIPAV. It appears immediately before the MIPAV window and the Output window open. The splash screen displays the name of the program and the MIPAV logo.

By default, MIPAV always displays the splash screen on start-up unless you decide to hide it. To do so, you need to change the option in the MIPAV Options dialog box.
  
After you quit MIPAV and then start it again, the splash screen appears.
+
=== To hide the splash screen or prevent it from appearing on start-up ===
 +
<ol>
 +
<li> Select Help &gt; Program Options. The [[#MipavOptions | MIPAV Options]] dialog box opens.</li>
 +
<li> Clear the Display Splash Screen box.</li>
 +
<li> Click Close. After you quit MIPAV and then start it again, the splash screen doesn't appear.</li>
 +
</ol>

=== Using platform-specific Open and Save dialog boxes ===
+
 
+
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0pt; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline"><font color="#000000"> By default, MIPAV uses its own version of Open and Save dialog boxes, which provide you with the ability to assign aliases, or shortcuts, to frequently used images. Aliases make it easy to locate images, a feature that may be attractive if you work with the same images for a period of time. However, you may prefer instead to use the style of Open and Save dialog boxes that are provided with the operating system of your computer. To do so, you need to select the Use platform-style File dialog boxes check box in the MIPAV Options dialog box. See [MIPAV_QuickStart.html#1994088 Figure 50 on page 75].<br /></font></div>
+
 
+
If this check box is selected and your computer is running Microsoft Windows, MIPAV displays the Windows style of Open and Save dialog boxes. If you use a Sun terminal, when this check box is selected, MIPAV displays the standard Unix-style Open and Save dialog boxes. On Apple MacIntosh computers, MIPAV displays dialog boxes that are standard with that operating system.

=== Debugging MIPAV ===
+
 
+
You can track debugging information and error messages generated by MIPAV during a session by placing it in debug mode. If errors occur during the session, the program displays any error messages in the Output window on the Debug page. By default, the debug mode is off when you start the program.
+
 
+
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 5pt; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0pt; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline"><font color="#000000"> <span style="font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline">'''<font color="#000000">Recommendation:</font>'''</span> The debugging information is primarily intended for MIPAV developers and not for users. The best course for a user is to leave the debug mode <span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline">''<font color="#000000">Off </font>''</span>unless a MIPAV developer asks for he/she to turn it on.<br /></font></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 5pt; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0pt; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline"><font color="#000000"> For more information about MIPAV debug mode, please refer to [MIPAVTroubleShooting.html#1337667 "Troubleshooting" ], [MIPAVTroubleShooting.html#1337690 "Placing MIPAV in debug mode" on page 558].<br /></font></div>

=== Saving a history of actions on images (TBD) ===
+
 
+
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0pt; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline"><font color="#000000"> MIPAV allows you to keep a history of all of the actions-the algorithms and utilities-that you perform on images. The history includes the specific parameters that were set for the action. In addition, if you save the images as XML, the history of actions and their parameters appears in the dataset attributes section near the beginning of the MIPAV header file (the XML file). Each action appears between the &lt;HISTORY&gt; and &lt;/HISTORY&gt; tags.<br /></font></div>
+
 
+
By default, MIPAV does <span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline">''<font color="#000000">not </font>''</span>record a history of actions unless you specifically select the Record history check box in the MIPAV Options &gt; Other dialog box.

MIPAV splash screen

The splash screen is the window that first appears briefly when you start MIPAV. It appears immediately before the MIPAV window and the Output window open. The splash screen displays the name of the program and the MIPAV logo.

By default, MIPAV always displays the splash screen on start-up unless you decide to hide it. To do so, you need to change the option in the MIPAV Options dialog box.

To hide the splash screen or prevent it from appearing on start-up

  1. Select Help > Program Options. The MIPAV Options dialog box opens.
  2. Clear the Display Splash Screen box.
  3. Click Close. After you quit MIPAV and then start it again, the splash screen doesn't appear.

After hiding the splash screen, you may later decide to display it.

To show the splash screen

  1. Select Help > Program Options. The MIPAV Options dialog box opens.
  2. Mark Display splash screen. A check mark appears in the check box.
  3. Click Apply, and then click Close. After you quit MIPAV and then start it again, the splash screen appears.
