Text images question

mtamimi
Hello
        Thanks for all the previous help. I was able to get some of the tasks done but I need more if possible.

I have a set of  93 ascii text files. These files are xy plane cuts of Monte Carlo absorbed simulation in a water phantom given in matrix format (100 values along the x axis and 249 along y axis). The dose values where normalized; therefore the resultant values run from (0-1.0). I wanted to make a graphical representation of the results. I was able to do that by opening the data set as a stack of text images and applying a LUT to the result (I am not sure how to attach an image to this e-mail). I also was able to add pixel size information to the image.
My Question:
        1) The size of the stack windo is small. I think it is because of the number of pixels. So I used the adjust canvase size and it gave me a larger image while keeping every thing the same. Magnifying the stack gave me a grainy image. Is their a better display option???
        2) I also wanted to change the colors of the stack. So I used other LUT but do not seem to have one that make sense to me. In radiotherapy they use red to represent hot areas and blue to represent cold areas. I tried to edit the LUT but the LUT editor did not seem to give me the 256 diferent colors between these values - (I used the spline fiting). Is that the correct way to display dose values or does calibrating the image well yeild better results?
        3) I wanted to create the other orthoganal view from the stack. When I run the orthogonal views from the stack menu I do not seem to get all the rows and columns displayed. Their was no option given when initiated the command. What I am doing wrong? Also can I generate a profile plot of the cross hair here.
