DISPLAYING DATA
Data Window (Grayscale Image without side traces)
A Palette Bar, running across the top of the window, always shows the full palette The Palette Bar
of grays or colors available in each color mode. The palette is graded so that lower
data values correspond to the darker tones to the left of the palette, and higher data
values correspond to the brighter tones to the right of the palette. The scale on the
Palette Bar is calibrated in your chosen data units (see SECTION 4.6 CHOOSING
THE DATA TYPE). By default, the full range of colors/grays is correlated with the full
range of data in your data set. This is known as 'rescaling' (see Rescale below).
Adjusting the Brightness and Increasing and Decreasing Contrast later in this section
explain how you can use these controls to change the brightness and contrast of the
display.
The arrows to the left of the Palette Bar on the Data Window allow you to adjust the
minimum distinguishable data value (i.e. min, the value at which the Palette Bar
becomes black); the arrows to the right of the Palette Bar on the Data Window allow
you to adjust the maximum distinguishable data value (i.e. max, the value at which
the Palette Bar becomes white).
