Chapter 12: ReferenceCommand Panel: Cursors On/OffClicking this button toggles selection cursors on or off in the active window.Command Panel: Spectrogram BrightnessSliding the brightness control to the right makes the entire spectrogram imagelighter; sliding to the left darkens the image. Brightness can also be adjusted bytyping a number between 0 and 100 into the box to the right of the slidercontrol.Command Panel: Spectrogram ContrastSliding the contrast control to the right increases the contrast in the entirespectrogram (i.e., reduces the range of gray values between white and black).Sliding to the left reduces contrast. Contrast can also be adjusted by typing anumber between 0 and 100 into the box to the right of the slider control.Signal Window: Select / Log data (mouse pointer)The mouse pointer adopts the crosshair shape whenever it is over the plot areaof the active pane. Dragging the mouse or clicking and shift-clicking select partof the view shown in the pane. Double-clicking selects the entire view(including parts that are beyond the edges of the pane). Command-clickingcopies measurements to the data log. Point measurement cells on themeasurement panel are updated continuously while the mouse pointer appearsas a crosshair.Signal Window: Change pane size (mouse pointer)The mouse pointer adopts this shape when placed on the double horizontalline between two panes in a signal window; you can then use the mouse todrag the line up or down to change the relative sizes of the two panes.Correlation Window: Change pane size (mouse pointer)The mouse pointer adopts this shape when placed on the double vertical linebetween the two panes in a correlation window; you can then use the mouse todrag the line left or right to change the relative sizes of the two panes.Signal Window: Active Pane IndicatorThe hatched bar appears at the left edge of the active pane in the active(frontmost) signal window. The active pane is the one to which the window’sscrollbars and the measurement panel apply. You can make a different paneactive by clicking on it.Signal Window: cursor tagsWhen a signal window’s cursors are on, cursor tags appear along thehorizontal axis of the waveform pane and along both axes of the spectrogramand spectrum panes. Numbers below or to the left of the cursor tags indicatethe exact position of the cursor, in whatever units label the axis. In the activepane, the active cursor in each direction (horizontal and vertical) is filled(black), the inactive cursors are open (white). The active cursor can be moved184 Canary 1.2 User’s Manual
