This area simply posts information about the image and the cursor location with respect to the image.
The top row delivers two rows provide information about the image itself such as which includes the dimensionsdimension, the time it was created, and the name of filename for the image.
The analysis result displays (TODO Displays what exactly?)next line shows the result of LOIS analysis. The display is in red and the content depends on the exact command which was issued; box or phot. There is a tooltip for the line which describes the content in more detail.
The last two rows update the information as the cursor is moved to display the value of the pixel the cursor is on and the (x,y) coordinates of the cursor.. There is also an echo of the LOUI Binning Factor (LBF). LBF has a default value of 2 for LMI which means that LOIS sends every other pixel to the imager. The imager is not meant for data analysis so this is not a major drawback and it speeds up operations on the imager.

The zoom ratio will ALWAYS remain 8:1. If you increase the zoom ratio on the main image, it will NOT increase the ratio on the detailed aspect. |

This is an enlarged image which can be seen more clearly than the Thumbnail or Detailed Aspects can offer. The initial image when received, is displayed at a 1:1 ratio. If the image is larger than the client area, the display starts at the center of the image. The cursor location on this aspect will relate to the Pixel Matrix and Line Profiles when toggled.
Fine Movement on the Image
If your cursor is close to a desirable location but you need to get it right on a certain pixel, arrow keys will let you move the cursor one pixel at a time in the up, down, left, or right direction using the respective arrow keys. Please remember that the view needs to be active.

Sometimes you need to make adjustments to the image to suit your purposes. Some of these adjustments may be as simple as zooming in or out and some may be as complex as changing the color scale or the way the pixels are scaled on the image. All of the tools you need are located directly above the Thumbnail and Detailed Aspects. There are also a set of functions that can be launched via this menu bar. These functions are instrument dependent. The menu below is for LMI.
Color
Scale This provides a drop-down menu of the different available color scales maps that can be used as well as an invert-color option.
Value Scale
TODO: Don't quite understand how to explain this
Brightness Control
Adjusts the brightness of the image. The left arrow decreases the brightness and the right arrow increases the brightness.
Contrast Control
Adjusts the contrast of the image. The left arrow will decrease the contrast and the right arrow increases the contrast.
The list and the RGB values were copied from IDL. The default is linear grey scale.
Image Zoom
...
The 4 controls with the magnifying glass allow you to control the ratio of the image to what is displayed. The magnifying glass with a plus or minus sign will let you zoom in or out of the image respectively. The third magnifying glass from the left will reset the ratio back to 1:1 and the last magnifying glass will fit the image to the client area.
Rotate Image
...
C (Contrast Control)
Adjusts the contrast of the image. The left arrow will decrease the contrast and the right arrow increases the contrast.
B (Brightness Control)
Adjusts the brightness of the image. The left arrow decreases the brightness and the right arrow increases the brightness.

Define ROI
A way to define different types of regions of interest.
Move Target
A way to do collimation and pointing offsets from the imager.
Focus (LMI)
Allows initiating the focus script from the imager.
