on the plot of the spectrum. Background regions on plot now are labeled
with correct number.
- September 26, 2006 Image / reduce data type removed.
Done automatically on reading and saving data. "Making uniform pixels"
step removed from exporting data cube. This saves memory both when reading

that will match it to the plot window. This makes adjusting the region
easier when the plot region is updated only on releasing the mouse button,
since the slider region is now directly under the corresponding plot region.
- August 30, 2005 Data Cube / SC ON button now also
controls slice marker on a spectrum plot. If SC is off, then slice marker
will not be displayed on spectrum plots with the slice slider is moved, nor
when a movie is running. Slices display more quickly when the plot does
not need refreshing.

which caused running sum plots sometimes not to work. This bug was introduced
on July 28, when cubes started having variable data types to save memory.
- August 11, 2005 2 & 3 Variable Tool / red/x!, green and
blue buttons no longer select a slice of a cube, because there is
a bug concerning the axes of the 2-dimensional scatter plot. Instead,
use the right-click on the cube slider (see change from yesterday) to extract
an image, and select that as the red, green or blue image.
- August 10, 2005 New: Right click on cube single slice slider
has new menu item to extract the slice to an image.
- July 28, 2005 <shift>Tile! now starts tiling from
the front window, which is not moved. Tile! works as
before, putting the first image at the upper right corner.

- July 26, 2005 Raw file format data cubes are reduced to smallest compatable
data type on read (either image by image or spectrum by spectrum, depending
on how the cube was written). Cubes are exported to raw format by making
all of the images or spectra of the same data type - the smallest type that
stores the maximum data value.
- July 26, 2005 Data Cube / Warp / Unwarp folder Unwarped
images are TIFF or JPEG, according to Data Cube / write / set write
type. -u is appended to the unwarped file names only if the
write directory is the same as the read directory. Otherwise, the unwarped
image name is the same as the original image name, where name means the file
name only (less host, directory and extension).
- July 2, 2005 Lx50
- July 2, 2005 Removed K-Ratio Tool. Replaced with FINI
button in PPP Tool. Added ability to generated raw elemental and background
maps using a spectrum image and a FINI file.

tie point. This will work while the tie point collection loop is
running.
- June 28, 2005 Data Cube / Warp / collect tie points
Press tab key to delete last tie point. Labels are now just off the
reference point, not right on it..
- June 28, 2005 Data Cube / Warp / Unwarp folder now works
on JPEG images. "-u" appended to unwarped image name.
- June 28, 2005 CLUT / display gray level component
moved to Image / convert to gray level. More logical place.
- June 28, 2005 On saving a non-byte but colorized gray level image as TIFF,
Lispix now gives a choice: save the image data (usually floating point),
or save the scaled byte image with the color scale.
- June 28, 2005 Gray level images are saved as JPEG with one component, making
the files more compatable with other software. If the gray level image
has a false color scale applied to it, such as a thermal scale, then it is
written as an RGB JPEG file, as previously. Code to support this change
kindly provided by Chris Voit.
- June 23, 2005 K-ratio Tool - Better error message for improperly written
associated map list in Fini file.
- June 17, 2005 Fixed bug so that Raw format data cubes written
