Figure 5.8: Colors dialog box

Display...
The Display menu item or the corresponding icon opens the Display Options dialog box.
Here the graphic display mode of single spectra can be chosen. The 'type' combo box gives a
choice between dot, histogram, spline I and line.
'Dot' means that each spectra point is shown as a small rectangle, the size of this rectangle can
be adjusted with the size combo box. 'Histogram' is the usual display with horizontal and vertical
lines, 'spline I' means linear interpolation between the points, and 'line' means vertical lines from
the ground to each spectra point.
If the displayed spectra range contains more channels as pixel columns are available in the video
graphic display, usually only the maximum value of the channels falling into that pixel columns is
displayed. But it can also explicitly specified by marking the checkboxes „Max Pixel", „Mean
Pixel" or „Min Pixel" which value will be displayed. It is also possible to display all three possible
values in different colors that can be chosen in the colors dialog. For the „Mean Pixel" a Threshold
value can be entered; channel contents that are below this value are then not taken into account
for the mean value calculation.
