Plot Bar
The Plot Bar is a docking pane "toolbar"
that provides frequently used commands for adjusting the appearance
of plot data. It also displays the coordinates of the mouse pointer
moving over the plot. The Plot Bar may be opened and closed
using the  button on the
Docking Panes Toolbar.
Coordinate Readout
The Plot Bar has two groups of coordinate
display:
-
Readout fields on the left show the (x,y)
data coordinates of the roaming mouse pointer.
-
Readout fields on the right refer to the
plot data in the original source data, typically, an image. The
upper field displays the
world coordinates corresponding to the roaming
mouse pointer. The lower field shows
brightness units for the coordinates in the source
data. The world coordinates and data value refer to the source
image at the x-coordinate in the graph. These are described in the
descriptions of the various plot types created from images.
Plot Bar Controls
The controls on the Plot Bar are described
in the following table. Several of these buttons duplicate commands

Plot Window menu.
