Changing Line Scan Display Properties

To change the global settings of your line scan acquisitions, select Properties from the View menu, and select the Line Scan tab.

The properties you change will affect all your line scans (not just the one you are currently viewing), and will take effect for all subsequent acquisitions.

Line Styles

Select a line from the list box to change that line’s style. You can change the graph axis and grid style, the style for up to eight different regions, and the style of the line that is drawn on images when representing this line scan. When you select a line, the Type, Color, and Width controls reflect the current style for that line.

Type

Use the drop-down list to select the type of line – solid, dashed, dotted, etc.

Color

Use the drop-down list to select the line color.

Width

Use the drop-down list to select the width of the line. The width normally only applies to solid lines – all other lines are always 1 pixel wide.

Repeat Data Line Style Every...Regions

If you set this number to 3, for example, the first 3 styles will be applied o the first 3 data region lines, then these styles will be repeated for the next 3 data region lines. The remaining 5 line styles will be ignored.

Show Grid

Checking this box will display the grid on the graph.
