CMINMX n m

    Specifies the minimum (n) and maximum (m) values in the data that correspond to the minimum and maximum color or gray scale values. Specifying the values causes the “Auto Scale” feature to be disabled. If the arguments are not given, the “Auto Scale” feature is enabled.


DAUTOCORR npix

    Displays autocorrelation of the data in the image buffer. The size of the autocorrelation region is specified by the PIVSIZE command. Drag the curser over the data image to choose the center of the autocorrelation region. “npix” specifies the magnification of autocorrelation window.


DFFT npix

    Using the size specified by the PIVSIZE command, zoom in on the Fourier Transform of the area of the image centered on the cursor. “npix”  specifies the magnification of the FFT window.


DISOFF flag

    If flag = 1, DISPLA Y commands will be ignored. This can be used to speed large batch processing macros. flag = 0 resumes normal DISPLA Y operation.


DISPLAY [string]

    Opens a window on the Macintosh screen and displays the contents of the current data buffer. The color palette used can be determined by the PALETTE command. The color minimum and maximum are specified by the CMINMX command. There can be up to 9 image windows open at one time. Windows can be resized, moved around the screen, and closed as in other Macintosh applications. If the optional string is specified, the window will be named according to the string.


DMNMX

    Displays the color min and max in the window.


DRGB [string]

    Opens a window and displays the contents of the current image buffer as an RGB image -- the first third of the image is taken as values for the red bit plane, the second third of the image represents the green bit plane, followed by the blue. This is the ordering of data read in from RAW or JPG images. The CMINMX command and “+” and “-” buttons in the status window work as for single-bit-plane images.


DZOOM npix

    Using the size specified by the current rectangle, zoom in on an area of the image centered on the cursor. Zoom factor is npix (integer). This is good for getting a close-up of a sub-region of an image.


ERASE [n]

    If no argument is given, all image windows currently on the screen are closed. If a value n is specified, only window n is erased.


NEWWIN flag

    If flag = 1 (default), a new window will be opened for each “DISPLAY” command. There can be a maximum of 9 graphics windows open at one time. If there are already 9 windows open on the screen, subsequent graphics commands will close the oldest window before opening a new one. If flag = 0, the results of “DISPLAY” commands will be placed in the last-opened window. If no window exists, a new one will be opened. If the size of the last-opened window is not appropriate for the current scan parameters, the last-opened window will be closed and a new window opened with the correct size.


PALETTE n

    Specifies that the nth predefined color palette should be used. Palette 0 is a color palette; 1 is a gray-scale palette.


PIXSIZE n

    Specifies the number of pixels on the Macintosh screen that will be used to represent each data word in the current image buffer. PIXSIZE 1 associates one Macintosh screen pixel with one data point. For n positive, PIXSIZE specifies that n pixels are to be used for each data point. If n is negative, a reduced picture is displayed with only every nth data point from the image data being displayed as one Macintosh pixel. (Good for large pictures and small screens.)


RULER [numpix] [numunits] [unit name]

    Can be used to specify the number of pixels that correspond to a length unit. “numpix” and “numunits” are both floating point arguments. An optional string can be included to define the units (e.g., “mm” or “feet”). If no arguments are given, the current scale factor will be printed. The scale factor defined with the RULER command is used (1) when printing lengths using the ruler tool in the status window, (2) when reporting contour lengths generated by the “Plot Contours” menu command, and (3) when reporting the x and y “center of mass” using the calculate rectangle tool in the status window. Scale factor info is saved with data files and will be reloaded automatically when the files are retrieved. To “un-define” a ruler, give only one argument.


SCATTER xsize ysize xmin xmax ymin ymax

    Displays a scatter plot from first and second half of current image. Size of scatter plot is specified by xsize and ysize. Bin size is determined by the min and max values of each half.
