Tips

  • The Display Range tool is a uipanel object, positioned in the lower-right corner of the figure. It contains the label Display range: followed by the display range values for the image.

  • For an indexed, truecolor, or binary image, the display range is not applicable and is set to empty ([]).

  • The Display Range tool can work with multiple images in a figure. When the pointer is not in an image in a figure, the Display Range tool displays [black white].
