Export Image
as Text
The Export Image as Text command saves the
image from Mira to a text format (.txt) file. The text file will
contain "fields" that are values isolated by white space (spaces,
tabs, or new lines). This is the complementary command for the
Import Text Image command, and the Properties set the values in the
text file.

Comments on Exporting Text Images
The check boxes in the Image
Properties to Save group allow flexibility in which image
properties are saved to the file. For example, you may save the
column and row dimensions as fields at the beginning of the text
file, or you may not save anything to the file other than the pixel
values themselves. The Pixel Representation also offers flexibility
in terms of how the pixel values are saved. You may save only the
values themselves, or you may save coordinate information, such as
column or row position, along with each pixel value.
