Image Windows
An Image Window is the type of Mira view window used to display 2 dimensional images. The image window has different forms, depending upon which toolbars are opened. An almost fully configured Image Window is shown below (note that the Animation Toolbar is not visible).
The largest component of the Image Window is the Image Toolbar that appears between the window caption and the displayed image. This extravagant toolbar puts many image controls and image information near at hand without requiring you to shift your visual focus far from the Image.
Accelerators in the table below execute commands when an Image Window has focus.
