Load map

Menu:   Processing > Palette> Load map

Script:   loadMap

Use this command to load an existing display map from a map file to an 8- or 16-bit grayscale image. Mapping 16-bit pixel values onto the 8-bit gray scale is especially useful for non-linear contrasting of high-depth images while maintaining the maximum intensity resolution. If you choose this command, the Load map dialog box will appear with the following options:

Image

Displays the number of the image frame in which the map will be loaded. By default, ImageWarp sets it to the number of the active frame. Type or select another value if you want the map to be loaded into a different image.

Look in
