.SINGLE, AUTOMATIC OR DOUBLE MAPPING? (S/A/D): S
[Option 'S' for single mode stretching (= normal mode)
The contrast is linearly stretched between bottom
and top density specified. These values can be
determined from a histogram output (see 'HI').
Option 'A' for automatic single mode stretching.
The contrast is linearly stretched between bottom
and top density. These values are determined
from an integral threshold specification in the
following way: the integrals over the histogram
from the right- and left-hand sides are compared
with a specified fraction of the total histogram
area (= total number of points). The bottom and
top densities are defined as the density values
where the left- and right-hand integrals,
respectively, become equal to the specified
fraction.
Option 'D' for Double mode stretching.
The contrast is linearly stretched in two sections
of the histogram specified by BOTTOM1, TOP1, BOTTOM2,
TOP2.]
.TOP DENSITY VALUE: 1.2
[Enter density value that is to be mapped to 2.0]
[The contrast stretched image will then be computed and put into PIC002. The density, mapping function, and the histograms before and after stretching will be printed out.]
.INTEGRAL THRESHOLD PERCENT: .5
[Enter percentage of total histogram area to be
used for definition of top and bottom density.]
.PRINT RESULTING HISTOGRAM (Y/N): Y
[Indicate if the histogram of the stretched image
is to be computed and printed out.]
[The contrast stretched image will then be computed and put
into PIC002. The following info will be printed out:
1. The histogram before stretching, if this is newly computed.
2. The density mapping function.
3. The histogram after stretching if this option is chosen.
.BOTTOM1: 0.1
[Enter density value of first lobe to be mapped into 0.]
.TOP1: 0.3
[Enter density value of first lobe to be mapped into 2.]
.BOTTOM2: 0.6
[Enter value of second lobe to be mapped into 0.]
.TOP2: 0.8
[Enter value of second lobe to be mapped into 2.]
[SPIDER checks if BOTTOM1 < TOP1 < BOTTOM2 < TOP2. If the values are not ordered in this way, an error message will be printed out. As in A.1. and A.2., the contrast stretched image will then be computed and put into PIC002. The density mapping function and the histograms before and after stretching will be printed out.]
