Description

This tool provides services to manage and manipulate the drawing canvases of Viewerdisplaypanel tools. At present, this means adjusting margin spacing (to make room for axis labels, for example), selecting the number of panels for channel maps, selecting screen or paper colors (that is, white-on-black or black-on-white), and adjusting the number of colors used by colormaps on the Viewerdisplaypanel tools.

The graphical user interface provided by the Viewercanvasmanager tool is shown in Figure 1.1. A Viewercanvasmanager tool GUI for a Viewerdisplaypanel tool can be placed on the screen by selecting Canvas manager from the File menu of the Viewerdisplaypanel tool, or by invoking the newcanvasmanagergui function of the Viewerdisplaypanel tool. A single Viewercanvasmanager tool can have multiple GUIs on the screen at any one time, but this can become confusing to the user. The Viewercanvasmanager tool GUI makes use of an autogui to allow modification of the various canvas parameters.
