Exit
Use the command from the File menu to end the program.
Alternative Click the button with the cross located at the upper right edge of the program win-
dow.
Image in the clipboard If you have copied an image into the clipboard, you will get a message informing
you of this - if the image is larger than 768 x 576 x 8 bits. Click on
Yes if you wish
to keep the image in the clipboard - it will remain available to you for other appli-
cations.
Any image of smaller size will remain available to you anyway.
Scale Bar, Show in Viewport
Use this command from the Image menu to display or hide a standard scale bar
in the image window. This setting applies to all loaded images. You will only
attain a useful scale bar after you have calibrated the image by clicking the
Apply
calibration button.
Note The automatic scale bar in the viewport is not part of the image, but rather a
property of the viewport. It appears in a default size in the lower right hand cor-
ner, i.e., the size, position and font size of the scale bar does not change if you
alter the position of the image within the viewport, or if you alter the image's zoom
factor. The calibration length will always be automatically adjusted to fit the cur-
rent zoom factor of the image in the viewport. You may also have the unit auto-
matically adjusted in order to avoid excessively large or small numeric values.
You can alternatively use the keyboard shortcut [Shift + F4] to be able to quickly
switch between views.
Scale Bar, Burn into Image
Use this command to irrevocably insert the scale bar into the image. In doing so,
all of the image information below the burned scale bar will be lost.
Select numerous
images
You can simultaneously apply this command to numerous images. To do so,
select the desired images from the image buffer box.
What’s it for? One of the main reasons for burning a scale bar into an image is when you are
preparing to export an image into another application program - e.g., MS Word -
which cannot read the image’s calibration data. The image calibration remains
accessible, if the scale bar has been burnt into the image. If you want to print an
image together with its scale bar you also have to burn the scale bar into the
image beforehand.
Warning Save all of the loaded images you want to keep. Any unsaved images will be
deleted without prior warning.

Warning Please remember that this command cannot be reversed.
A scale bar that has been burned into an image can of course no longer auto-
matically be adjusted to fit image size because it has become a part of that
image.
