Display Layout

When Jim is first started and an image is loaded, the layout is set to "ALL", which means that all slices in the data-set are shown in the display window. The layout of the frame can be set to show different numbers of slices by clicking on one of the buttons in the "Layout" panel.

layout_panel

The icons represent the number of slices and layout of the display pane that will be selected; for example 9_layout will show a total of 9 image slices. Note that the way in which the slices are laid out in the panel depends not only on the number of slices shown, but also on the shape of the panel, which changes as you resize Jim.

Click on one of the layout icons to change the layout, or click on the "ALL" icon to revert to automatic selection of layout that shows all slices.

Jim will automatically set the shape of each display pane to match the field of view of the displayed image, such that the screen area is used optimally. However, you may want to change the shape of the display pane. For example, if the anatomical region you want to evaluate is predominantly rectangular, then you may want to select a rectangular pane shape. Select the desired pane shape from the View menu: view_pane_shape.

There are five pane shapes to choose from, or you can choose "AUTO" to let Jim choose the best shape for the image's field of view.
