Starting the Image Processing Navigator
The Image Processing Navigator provides easy access to image file I/O, as well as these Image Processing visual data analysis (VDA) tools:
*Image Tool—The Image Tool is used to display a variable containing image data. The variable can be a 2D array containing 8-bit image data or a 3D variable containing 24-bit RGB image data. Use WzIPImage from the PV-WAVE command line to access this tool.
*Plot Tool—The Plot Tool tool is used to plot one or more variables. Use WzIPPlot from the PV-WAVE command line to access this tool.
*Histogram Tool—The Histogram Tool is used to visualize quantitative trends in large amounts of 1D, 2D, or 3D data. Use WzIPHistogram from the PV-WAVE command line to access this tool.
*Surface Tool—The Surface Tool is used to display one 2D variable containing surface data. Use WzIPSurface from the PV-WAVE command line to access this tool.
*Contour Tool—The Contour Tool is used to display one 2D variable containing contour data. The Contour Tool also lets you display an image of your data underneath the contour plot. Use WzIPContour from the PV-WAVE command line to access this tool.
*Color Tool—The Color Tool is used to select and set the image and plot colors for displaying data. Use WzIPColorEdit from the PV-WAVE command line to access this tool.
To start the Image Processing Navigator, enter the following command at the PV‑WAVE prompt:
WAVE> ipnavigator
Once the Image Processing Navigator is running, you can use the Image Processing VDA tools exclusively to perform your image processing, or you can use a combination of Image Processing VDA tools and the PV‑WAVE command line to accomplish your goals.
