Re: IMAGEJ Digest - 25 Nov 2007 to 26 Nov 2007 (#2007-309)

[Yang Xia]

Thanks for the suggestions and help, especially for Michael Schmid's plugin, which shows a 7x7 data window centered at the pointer location. It is very neat and works! If there is a way to make the data window bigger and save-able (as a text image), it will be very useful.

Many thanks for the members of this mailing list.

Hi Yang,

if you want a large window than 7x7, simply change the radius
value in line 32 of the plugin. Saving the data - this is not
one of my high priority projects - but it could be done.
For me, a higher-priority task is fixing the position of the
Pixel Inspector by a keystroke so that I could use it during
preview to see how an operation would change the pixel values.

A side-remark: When replying to the digest mail, I would suggest
to to use the subject line of the specific message.
Otherwise, the thread will be broken (e.g., in the list archives,
but also many mailers can display messages grouped by subject).
But I know that I am also one of these people who often forget
such things...

Michael
