Colorbar Flags

Adding a scalebar

mv_xgap=0, mv_ygap=0, CTV_scalebar=0	mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=30, CTV_scalebar=1

Note: frame time is printed by default

Frame Time Flags

Remove frame time

mv_xgap=0, mv_ygap=0, mv_displayTime=1	mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=30, mv_displayTime=0

Stimulus marking Flags

Adding a white square

mv_xgap=0, mv_ygap=0, mv_markStimulus=0	mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=30, mv_markStimulus=1

Adding text

mv_xgap=0, mv_ygap=0, mv_markStimulus=0	mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=30, mv_markStimulus=2

Adding a red square

mv_xgap=0, mv_ygap=0, mv_markStimulus=0	mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=30, mv_markStimulus=3

Scaling Flags

Scale data between maximum and minimum of all data

mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=30, mv_individualScale=0, CTV_scalebar=1, SO_MV_scalemin=0, SO_MV_scalemax=1	mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=30, mv_individualScale=2, CTV_scalebar=1,SO_MV_scalemin=0, SO_MV_scalemax=1

Scale data between 20th percentile and 80th percentile of all data

mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=0, mv_individualScale=0, CTV_scalebar=1, mv_percentileScale=0, mv_percentileValue=0	mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=30, mv_individualScale=2, CTV_scalebar=1, mv_percentileScale=1, mv_percentileValue=0.2

Scale data between minimum and maximum of a central rectangular region

mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=30, mv_individualScale=0, CTV_scalebar=1, mv_indiScale3factor=0	mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=30, mv_individualScale=3, CTV_scalebar=1, mv_indiScale3factor=0.2

NOTE: Here as well, data can be scaled to be within a range of percentile values instead of being with minimum and maximum values as above. To do this, specify the flags mv_percentileScale and mv_percentileValue.

Scale data between user-specified lower limit and data dependent upper limit

mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=30, mv_individualScale=0, CTV_scalebar=1,SO_MV_scalemin=0	mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=30, mv_individualScale=4, CTV_scalebar=1,SO_MV_scalemin=-0.1

Others

Lower and upper limits for data scaling can be restricted to be with an area specified by a .area or .area.tif file by setting the flag mv_individualScale to 5 and 6. Please click on the flag name in the previous sentence for more info.

Filter Flags

Apply spatial filter

mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=30, mv_individualScale=3, CTV_scalebar=1, mv_indiScale3factor=0.2, Signal_FilterSpaceFlag=0, Signal_FilterSpaceSize=3	mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=30, mv_individualScale=3, CTV_scalebar=1, mv_indiScale3factor=0.2, Signal_FilterSpaceFlag=1, Signal_FilterSpaceSize=3

Apply temporal filter

A temporal filter can be applied to sig1 data before exporting movie using the flags Signal_FilterTimeFlag, Signal_FilterTimeSize. Please click on the flag names in the previous sentence for more info.

Exclusion Flags

Exclude pixel from all sides of the movie frame

mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=30, mv_individualScale=3, CTV_scalebar=1, mv_indiScale3factor=0.2, mv_cutborder=0	mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=30, mv_individualScale=3, CTV_scalebar=1, mv_indiScale3factor=0.2, mv_cutborder=15

Exclude frames at start and end of movie

Frames can be excluded from start and end of movie using the flags mv_FirstFrame, mv_LastFrame. Please click on the flag names in the previous sentence for more info.

Rotate Clockwise 90 degrees

mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=30, mv_individualScale=3, CTV_scalebar=1, mv_indiScale3factor=0.2, mv_rotateImage=0	mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=30, mv_individualScale=3, CTV_scalebar=1, mv_indiScale3factor=0.2, mv_rotateImage=1

Rotate Clockwise 180 degrees

mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=30, mv_individualScale=3, CTV_scalebar=1, mv_indiScale3factor=0.2, mv_rotateImage=0	mv_xgap=30, mv_ygap=30, mv_individualScale=3, CTV_scalebar=1, mv_indiScale3factor=0.2, mv_rotateImage=2
