CImage:GetAxisLabel
The GetAxisLabel method returns the label for measurements along a specified image axis.
sLabel = CImage:GetAxisLabel( Axis )
Axis is 1 for the x axis, 2 for the y axis.
On success, this method returns sLabel as a string
On failure, this method returns nil.
If the image is in FITS format, this returns the value of the CUNITn keyword for image axis n. You can place an axis label into the header of a FITS format image by adding a string with the CUNITn keyword. The present method reads that string.
Assume a displayed image has no WCS calibration. The following script fragment returns the name of the axis label for axis 1 (the x, or column-number axis):
I = V:GetImage() |
-- load the image from a display window |
axis = 1 |
-- column axis |
s = I:AxisLabel(axis) |
-- return the label string |
Printf("Label[%d]= '%s'",axis,s) |
-- result: Coord units[1]= 'pixels' |
