Shift Image
The Shift Image command applies a precision
shift to an
Image Set or a single image. The shift moves the
image values on the underlying coordinate system. The shifts\
values may be any number of whole pixels or decimal portions
thereof.
-
The Shift Image command opens from the
Image Window > Process >
Geometry menu and button on the Main Toolbar. The "immediate" form, shown first,
opens when an image or image set is displayed in the top-most
window. The general form can be used to select source images from
folders, windows, or by matching templates.

with a value when the shifted image exposes blank pixels.
Target Value fills the
blank area with the specifiedValue.

margin.
Value is the specific
value to set when the Target Value

Shift Directions
The signs of the shift values are taken as positive
if the image is moved in the direction of increasing coordinate
value. For the different formats, this can appear differently on
the screen. For a FITS image, X and Y increase to the right and
upward, respectively. For the other graphics format images, X and Y
increase to the right and downward. You can tell which direction
things will move my roaming the mouse pointer over the image and
noting which direction the coordinates increase.
Edge Replacement
The "edge" refers to the blank pixels that rotate
into the output image from off the edge of the original image.
These pixels have no value but something must be done with them.
Mira give you two options for assigning them a value:
-
Use the typical value for pixels near the margin
of the original image, or
-
Assign a specific edge value, such as 0.
