Viewing two images together
By default, Image A is active and Image B is inactive. Thus, even if two image files are loaded into the same image window, only Image A-which is the designation MIPAV assigns to the first image that was opened in the window-is displayed.
You can view the inactive image using one of the following methods:
Comparing images using alphablending
Note: In the MIPAV window, notice that an additional magnifying glass is now available: , the Window Region of Image B icon, which you use to view the portion of Image B that is directly under that portion of Image A.
If you want to take an action on one of the images-for example, adjusting the contrast or running an algorithm-make sure that it is the active image. If the inactive image is Image B, you also have the option of using the Image B region tool to view portions of the Image B. If the active image is currently Image A and you want to view Image B, simply select the Image B radio button. To make Image A the active image, select the Image A radio button.
Viewing portions of images using the checkerboard
Use checkerboarding
|
Specifies to use checkerboarding.
|
|
Rows
|
Indicates the number of rows you want to display in the checkerboard. You can display from 1 to 50 rows.
| |
Columns
|
Indicates the number of columns you want to display in the checkerboard. You can display from 1 to 50 columns.
| |
Apply
|
Applies the parameters that you specified to the images.
| |
Close
|
Closes this dialog box.
| |
Cancel
|
Disregards any changes you made in this dialog box, closes the dialog box, and does not apply checker boarding.
| |
Help
