Pixel information window
Mouse functions
The mouse pointer can be located either in a map window, then the pixel information window shows current coordinate and retrieved information for the maps (and tables) added to the pixel info window at this coordinate, or the mouse pointer can be located in the pixel information window itself.
Mouse pointer located in a map window
Moving the mouse over:
- The map in the map window: if the pixel information is customized to continuously receive coordinates from the mouse, the pixel information window returns the XY-coordinate of the current position of the mouse pointer in the map window. Subsequently, the pixel info window retrieves at that coordinate the class names, identifiers and/or values of the maps (and tables) added to the pixel info window.
Clicking:
- The map in the map window: if you cleared the continuous check box for the mouse pointer in the Customize Pixel Info dialog box, the pixel information window returns at a click in the map window the XY-coordinate of the current position of the mouse pointer in the map window. Subsequently, the pixel info window retrieves at that coordinate the class names, identifiers and/or values of the maps (and tables) added to the pixel info window.
Mouse pointer located in the pixel information window
Moving the mouse over:
- Map and column names: the status bar shows the map name and its extension (.MPR, MPA, MPS, MPP) or the column name and the extension .CLM;
- Coordinates and retrieved information from maps and tables: the status bar repeats the information.
Clicking:
- The upper left gray field: the Customize Pixel Info dialog box appears;
- The gray button above the coordinates and retrieved values: selects the current coordinate and retrieved information for this coordinate. You may copy this to the clipboard;
- A gray map name or column name: selects the map (or column) name and the retrieved value for this position. You can copy this to the clipboard. Hold the Shift key down to select multiple map and column names and their retrieved values;
- A retrieved value: selects this value. You can copy this to the clipboard. Hold the Shift key down to select multiple retrieved values.
Dragging:
- The line between the upper left gray field and the gray button above the coordinates and retrieved values: changes the width of the column containing the map and column names. The appearance of the mouse pointer changes to a double-sided arrow when you are at the right position to start dragging.
