Chapter 6 Displaying the Data 129 The Settin gs dialog allows you to change the color of the label text, to choose between an opaque (white) background and a transparent background, and choose whether the labels are to run vertically or horizontally. The opaque background works well with images, where the label can get lost inside the image.
130 WinView/32 Manual Version 2.4.M Generally it is advisable to save the label in a comment field; otherwise, once the label is printed and the display is closed, the label will be lost. In fact, once the label is on the display, it cannot be edited.
Chapter 6 Displaying the Data 131 To correct the line-wrapping, simply resize the ROI as shown in Figure 118. . The font can be changed after the label is printed on the display: . To change the background or color, the label must be erased and reprinted; it can only be altered inside the edit box.

The effect is an overall brightening of the mid- range values in the picture. In effect, the brightness scaling of the scene is compressed to achieve greater dynamic range at the expense of linearity.
376 WinView/32 Manual Version 2.4.M Parameters Offset: The Offset parameter allows the video to be shifted negatively. The range is in arbitrary units from 0 to 99 and the default setting is 10.0. The higher the setting, the larger the offset that will be subtracted from every pixel in the image, in effect shifting the entire image towards black.
