The following controls are available on the Line Profile tab.
- Line Profile—Variations of intensity along a line.
- Minimum Value—Smallest pixel intensity found in the line profile.
- Maximum Value—Largest pixel intensity found in the line profile.
- Mean Value—Mean value of pixel intensities found in the line profile.
- Std Deviation—Standard deviation of pixel intensities from the line profile.
- Number of Pixels—Number of pixels found in the line profile.
- Mapping mode—Specifies if the vertical scale (y-axis) of the histogram is linear or logarithmic.
- Linear—Displays the line profile in a linear scale.
- Logarithmic—Displays the line profile in a logarithmic scale. Use the logarithmic scale if the linear values are too small to view.
