Drag and Drop

Drag and Drop refers to the process of picking up files icons using the computer mouse, usually from from some sort of file manager, and dropping them onto the interface of a software application. If your windows system and java support Drag and Drop, then you can Drag and Drop various files onto Jim for easy loading. This section shows you where you can drop various files onto Jim - these are known as the 'drop targets'.

Main display

You can drop image files onto Jim's display windows to immediately load them. The files can be in any of the loadable formats, or DICOM format. The display drop target is shown below outlined in red.

display_drop_target

This drop target works for the main display, slave displays, and movie displays.

Note: If you want to drop an AnalyzeTM image to load it into the display, you must drop the header (.hdr or .hdr.gz) file rather than the image (.img) file.

You can also drop image files onto the image text panel, outlined in red below:
