Determining the Value of Individual Pixels

The Image Tool provides information about the location and value of individual pixels in an image. This information is displayed in the Pixel Information tool at the bottom left corner of the Image Tool window. The pixel value and location information represent the pixel under the current location of the cursor. The Image Tool updates this information as you move the cursor over the image.

For example, view an image in the Image Tool.

The following figure shows the Image Tool with pixel location and value displayed in the Pixel Information tool. For more information, see Saving the Pixel Value and Location Information.

To paste this position vector into the MATLAB workspace or another application, right-click and select Paste from the context menu.
