SPICE_RASTER_BROWSER

SPICE_RASTER_BROWSER is a GUI used to browse 3D SPICE data cubes. It has been adapted from the EIS_RASTER_BROWSER routine available in the Hinode/EIS Solarsoft distribution.

Within the image display window, the mouse buttons are used as:

• LEFT Zoom in to image (factor 2).
• MIDDLE Choose a new spatial pixel for spectrum display.
• RIGHT Zoom out from image (factor 2).

Similarly, for the spectrum display windows, the mouse buttons are used as:

• LEFT Zoom in to spectrum (factor 2).
• MIDDLE Choose a new spectrum pixel for image display.
• RIGHT Zoom out from spectrum (factor 2).

If you are using the Mac trackpad, then you can still use spice_raster_browser. Go to X11->Preferences...->Input and select the 'Emulate three button mouse' option. The GUI now accepts the following inputs:

• CLICK Zoom in to image (factor 2).
• OPTION+CLICK Select a new spatial pixel
• COMMAND+CLICK Zoom out from image.

If you are using the Mac trackpad on a VNC screen, we recommend using BetterTouchTool with e.g. "TipTap Left" set to trigger a middle click, which selects a new spatial pixel.
