Graphics Load Function: Program-level Documentation

Load Graphics Menu

The Load Graphics Functions can be activated from the Display Window Widget by selecting:

Functions->Graphics Load->Window : Copy graphics from any display window, to the current display window on a color-by-color basis.
Functions->Graphics Load->Band Data : Create bitmap graphics from loaded band image data based on specified data ranges or bit masks.
Functions->Graphics Load->HDF File : Load bitmap graphics from an SD in an HDF file.
Functions->Graphics Load->Flat File : Load bitmap graphics from a binary flat file.

Graphics input files are assumed to only contain values from 1 to 7, representing the 7 possible SeaDAS graphics indices. Any values outside this range will be ignored. If the dimensions of the input file are not the same as the display image, then the graphics file will be loaded anyway, aligning at the upper lefthand corner of the display image and a warning will be issued.

For saving bitmap graphics in either HDF or flat file format, see the Graphics Data option under Functions->Output.

Note: For saving and loading annotation objects, see Annotate.
