// Example script to show how to access the calibration information from the foremost image (or lineplot)

// This is the information contained in the calibration window obtained when right clicking on an image

 

image front:=getfrontimage() // get the foremost image

 

// a simple way to directly access the unit string in the foremost image

 

string unitstring=imagegetdimensionunitstring(front,0)

okdialog("The unit string is = "+unitstring)

 

// an alternative way to access the unit string plus all the other calibration information

 

number dimension, origin, scale, calibformat

calibformat=1

dimension=0 //(note a lineplot has only one dimension, an image 2, a data cube 3)

 

ImagegetDimensionCalibration( front, dimension, origin, scale,unitstring,calibformat )

okdialog("Unit String = "+unitstring+"\nDimension = "+dimension+"\nOrigin = "+origin+"\nScale = "+scale)
