Image Window Properties

Image Window Properties control the settings of Image Windows. These properties can be changed globally, to make default settings for new image windows, or locally, to affect properties only for the specific window. The default properties dialog uses a profile control to save and recall parameter sets for use by future image windows. Local properties affect only the specific Image Window for which they are changed.

Note that the Default Image Window Properties window adds several properties that cannot be set by the Local Image Window Properties window.

Open these dialogs using the View > Default Properties > Image Window command and the View > Local Properties > Image Window command.

Image Window Properties
Profile [\|>]	Selects the parameter profile for this command and allows you to save or work with existing presets.
Image Set Operations	These 3 check boxes control the Image Set Flags: Process: Check this box to have processing commands apply to all images in an image set.
	Measure: Check this box to have measurement commands apply to all images in an image set.
	Graph: Check this box to have graphing (plotting) commands apply to all images in an image set.
Tracker Magnification	Selects the magnification used by the zoomed view on the Image Bar. The options are 1, 3, 5, and 9 times the original image. You can also change the tracker magnification for an image window by double-clicking on the zoomed view itself.
Thumbnail Cursor	Sets the graphic mode for the small cursor that outlines the visible image on the pan view of the Image Bar.
Automatic Window Sizing	These options controls the size of an Image Window when first opened. Mira uses a complex algorithm to determine the window size and zoom factor by combining these settings with the Default Zoom setting. Display Entire Image: Mira chooses a zoom factor that allows the entire image to be viewed. The image is shrunk if necessary but nor enlarged. Default Window Size: Mira lets Windows determine the window size. Maximum Window Size: Mira makes the image as large as possible.
Default Zoom	These properties control the initial zoom setting used for images opened into new Image Windows. Use Default Zoom to force all images in new windows to open with the same zoom value, regardless of the window size. NOTE: The default zoom properties apply to all new Image Windows but not to currently open windows. Set Default Zoom If unchecked, Mira chooses a zoom factor that fits the image in the window or the Mira frame. If checked, the specified zoom specified below is forced, regardless of the window size. Initially, Set Default Zoom setting is NOT checked so that Mira chooses a reasonable zoom value for new Image Windows. Default Value: This specifies the image zoom value when Set Default Zoom is checked.
Window Interior	Selects the pattern used for the window background outside the image. If you choose Solid Color, then you can also set the color using the button to the right of the selection.
