conventional way with row number increasing upward.
If checked, FITS images are displayed in the
unconventional way with row number increasing downward.
|
|
Transfer function log Y Axis
|
Plots the logarithm of frequency on the Y axis of
the histogram in the
Transfer Function Pane dialog. Check this item
to enhance the appearance of low frequencies when the histogram
sample includes a small number of contaminating high pixels such as
stars.
|
|
Enable mouse wheel zoom in pan control
|
Check this box to allow the mouse wheel to zoom
the image while the mouse pointer is moving over the Panning box in
the
Image Bar.
|
|
Enable Pane ImageBar
|
Check this box to enable the new
Image Bar docking pane. Uncheck the box to return to
the old Image Toolbar. A changed
setting takes effect when the next Image Window is opened.
|
|
List non-existent images
|
With this item checked, Mira announces every image
in a
File List that could not be found. Typically, this
unnecessarily wastes time, so leave it unchecked.
|
|
Add Metadata at File Open
|
Apply metadata changes when the image file is
opened. The metadata settings are configured using
Add Metadata.
|
|
Add Metadata at File Save
|
Apply metadata changes when the image file is
saved to a FITS format file. The metadata settings are configured
using
Add Metadata.
|
|
Open file tabs toward the left
|
If checked, tabs for new files are opened at the
left end of the tab row on the
Multi-Tab Interface. If not checked, tabs are opened
at the right end of the tab row.
|
|
Open animation panes pinned
|
Check this option to open the
Animation Bar closed and pinned to the window border
as an icon tab. If not checked, the Animation Bar is opened fully,
exposing its controls, when an
Image Set is loaded.
|
|
Open docking panes on hover
|
Check this box to instruct tabified
docking panes to open when the mouse hovers over the
tab. Otherwise, you must click the tab to open the pane.
|
|
Close command dialogs
|
Controls whether global
command dialogs automatically close after you click
[Process]. Modeless dialogs are
dialog windows that let you work outside them while they are
open
|
|
Use Save Path as Open Path
|
Copies the last saved path into the default Open
path. Usually, you would leave this item checked.
|
|
Default line is stepped line
|
Check this box to plot line graphs as a stepped
line. Otherwise, line graphs are drawn using a normal jagged line.
See
Plot Windows.
|
|
Hold 1-D plot draw on resize
|
Check this box to delay redrawing a Plot Window
while being resized. For most plots this is desirable. However, you
may make a plot that has so many points in so many series that
Windows cannot keep up with re-drawing it during a plot Window
resize. In that case you can get back your user interface by
checking this item. With the Delay flag enabled, Mira holds the
redrawing operation until after you have finished adjusting the
size of the window.
|
|
Hold 3-D plot draw on resize
|
Check this box to delay redrawing a 3-D Plot
Window while being resized. This helps prevent loss of system
performance when you resize or move a window containing a large or
complicated 3-D plot.
|
|
Prompt before closing Table Windows
|
Check this box to force Mira to prompt you to
confirm that you want to close the table in a
Grid Window. The prompt also gives you a chance to
save the grid contents to a file.
|
|
Prompt before closing Plot Windows
|
Check this box to force Mira to prompt you to
confirm that you want to close a
Plot Window.
|
|
Prompt before closing Chart Windows
|
Check this box to force Mira to prompt you to

Chart Window.
|
|
Prompt before closing 3-D Plot Windows

3-D Plot window.
|
|
Prompt to confirm closing panes
|
Check this box to force Mira to prompt you to
confirm that you want to close a
docking pane.
|
|
Prompt to confirm tabifying panes
|
Check this box to force Mira to prompt you to
confirm that you want to shrink a
docking pane to its tabbed state on the border of the
parent window.
|
|
Enable Hint Windows
|
Check this box to show a Hint Window for certain
interactive commands such as
Crop by Rectangle or
Align on Object.
|
|
Other Controls
|
|
Image Information Format
|
This list box lets you set the default format for
image information that is displayed by clicking  on an
Image Bar. Usually you would set this to FITS Format
so that intensity images show information in the
FITS Header dialog. RGB images have no FITS format
support, so information about RGB image is always shown in the
Image Information Editor dialog anyway.
|
|
Expanding Tooltip Offset
|
Sets the vertical offset, in screen pixels, of the
expanding Tooltip. The expanding Tooltip has a small triangle that
permits you to view more information by clicking on the tip text.
If you have trouble moving from the control onto the text without
crossing another control in between (which closes the text), reduce
the offset to move the pop-up tip text upward toward the control.
After clicking Apply or Save, you will need to re-open a particular
window to see the change take effect.
|
|
Default max cell width
|
Limits the initial width of grid cells when they
may contain very long character strings. For example, if the image
name is very long (say, 70 characters), the grid would normally
autoscale the image name column to hold all 70 characters at the
expense of other grid columns. This parameter affects only the
initial maximum width of a column, and the width may be adjusted
after the grid is displayed. A typical value for this parameter is
around 200 pixels. See
Grid Controls.
|
|
Max New Windows
|
Sets the maximum number of Image Windows to be
opened from a single
File List if not opened as an Image Set. Use this
option to prevent runaway accidental window opening for File Lists
containing many images.

Cascading Windows
|
These options control the offset of new document
windows when they are opened. Use this to control the use of screen
space. These settings apply to the following window types:
Image,
Plot,
Text Editor,
Script Editor.
|
|
Offset
|
The position offset between windows. This is the
distance right and below the previously opened window, measured in
screen pixels. In the window shown above, this is set to 12 screen
pixels. The Windows default is 24 pixels.
|
|
Cycle
|
Sets the number of offsets used before the next
window opens at the top left corner. In the picture shown above,
this is set to 8 cycles, meaning that the cascading positions of
new windows repeats every 8 windows.
