4.6.2. The Pixel Info Toolbox

The Pixel Info Toolbox displays information about pixels of the topmost Microstructure and/or Image displayed in the Canvas. Figure 4.6 shows the Toolbox and the Canvas.

Figure 4.6. The Pixel Info Toolbox

The Pixel Info Toolbox

When the mouse is clicked on the Canvas, the pixel under the mouse click is highlighted, as shown in the figure. The coordinates of the pixel are displayed in the Toolbox. A new pixel may be chosen by either clicking again on the Canvas, or by typing new coordinates into the Toolbox and clicking the Update Information button. Either action invokes the OOF.Graphics_n.Toolbox.Pixel_Info.Query command.

The data is displayed in the Toolbox in three different sections. Data is displayed only if the Canvas contains a Layer displaying an Image or Microstructure.

  • The top section shows data from the topmost Image in the display, but only if the topmost Image Layer is not obscured by a Microstructure Layer. It displays the name of the Image (actually, its path) and the red, green, blue representation of the selected pixel's color.

  • The middle section shows the name of the Microstructure and the pixel groups that contain the selected pixel.

  • The bottom section shows the name of the Material assigned to the selected pixel.

The way in which the selected pixel is highlighted in the Canvas may be changed by using the Layer Editor to alter the PixelInfoDisplay display methods that are assigned to the topmost Microstructure and Image. It will be necessary to enable List All Layers in the Settings menu first.
