Image Toolbar


The Image Toolbar is a command center that resides at the top of Mira Image Windows. This toolbar provides user interface connections to frequently used display tools, It also shows brief image information and the coordinates of the mouse pointer as it moves over the image.

The Image Toolbar provides handy access to functions that are also available in menus and toolbars, so you may choose to hide the Image Toolbar to save space. The controls on the Image Toolbar are organized into the groups described below.
