Image Processing Toolbox Release Notes

New Image Viewer

The toolbox includes a new tool for displaying images, called the Image Viewer. This tool supports zooming, scrolling, and overview navigation with large images. The Image Viewer automatically displays the pixel value at the mouse location but you can also use a special zoom tool, called the Pixel Region tool, to perform simultaneous color and quantitative inspection of individual pixels. You can also view metadata for the image file or MATLAB variable.

To start the Image Viewer, use the imview function.

```
imview('board.tif')
```

The following figure illustrates the Image Viewer and its capabilities.

Note    On platforms that don't support JAVA, have an older version of JAVA, and on Macintosh systems, calls to imview invoke the imshow function. The toolbox issues this warning when imview is invoked:

            'IMVIEW is not available on this platform.', ...
           'Calling IMSHOW instead.');
