Coord<=>Cursor
A cursor now appears over the image window (the Pixel Peek window may have to be moved to the side so that both the pixel
peek window and the image viewer window can be seen); clicking the mouse on the image viewer window moves the cursor to
that position, and repositions the numerically displayed portion of the image to be centered at that position.
To examine pixel values as a two dimensional graph, click:

A graph of pixel values for a line (column) of the image appears, showing pixel values along the line (column) at the displayed Y
(X) coordinate. The line (column) of the image which is shown can be moved interactively by clicking:

4.6. Saving Images
To save an image, from the PIXCI Image Viewer, click:
File
Save Image
Choose a file format, such as:
TIFF
JPEG/JFIF
BMP
PCX
Targa (TGA)
X/Y Binary
X/Y ASCII
TIFF is an industry standard, and the most commonly used image file format; TIFF is suggested for saving and reloading an image
into XCAP, and suggested for exporting images to other programs which support TIFF. The JPGE/JFIF is also a commonly used
image file format and provides high, but lossy, compression. The BMP, PCX, and TGA formats are useful when exporting an
image into other programs that don't support TIFF; but these file formats support only 8 bits per pixel component (such as 8 bit
monochrome or 24 bit RGB). The X/Y Binary and X/Y ASCII export raw pixels, left to right, top to bottom, with no excess
information such as dimensions, bit depth, date, format, etc; these are useful for exporting images to a spreadsheet (X/Y ASCII),
or to your own program that can assume the image's dimensions and can simply read a 2-D array of values.
After selecting a file format, enter a file name:
File Name: xx.tif
and click
OK
to save the image. Or, use the:
Browse
button to access the standard Windows File Dialog, click
Accept
to accept the filename selected by browsing, and click
OK
to save the image.
