Small little things for histogram display and color scale
Posted: Fri Feb 20, 2015 2:33 pm
Hi Daniel,
I've a few suggestions to facilitate the use of histogram:
. it would be superuseful that the histogram takes into account the displayed range (it already does) AND the tick box 'show NaN/out of range...'. In particular for intensity values that can be extremely variable, if you want to see the histogram in the interesting part, very often you have first to segment the data by min/max, and then do the histogram. If the 'show NaN/out..." box is untick, the histogram would display directly the part the user is interested in without the need to create a new data.
. it would be supergreat to be able to export the histogram data (in a txt file with mean bin position, bin width and number of counts).
. it would be great to have a button to copy just this window (or even save it as a figure).
. It would be great if the histogram could display the total sum of the scalar (useful for volume computation for instance).
I also note that it remains a bit tricky to get color scales with numbers that are not fully esoteric (i.e. 0, 1.367, 2.789. I know you've worked a lot on this and improved it from the early days of CC. Creating your own color scale and playing with the displayed precision helps, but there's still some issue. I think there might be one final element missing: a button/place where the user can indicate the rounding of the displayed scale number (for instance, round to 0.1, to 2, to 5 to 10 etc...). This way, rather than getting 0; 1.112; 2.214;.....36,6554, you'll have if you select 1: 0,1,2,....37.
What do you think of these ?
