Multiple Displays

Jim can display more than one image simultaneously. Of course, you can run more than one copy of Jim at the same time in order to display multiple images (if your license allows it). However, creating multiple displays from within a single Jim has several advantages:

• Image display controls can be applied to all displays simultaneously, allowing your navigation through one image to be reflected in the images in all the displays.
• Regions of Interest (ROIs) can be directly copied and pasted between images.

The Master and Slave Displays

To start a new display, or movie display, select the Spawn item from the File menu:

or, for movies

Slave displays do not have the option to spawn.

Notice that the Title Bar of the new display shows a number in parentheses (e.g., (2)) that identifies the spawned display.

You can now load an image into the new display, and use it independently, just like running a second copy of Jim. However, note that Regions of Interest you create in one display can be copied and pasted into any other display.

Any number of Slave displays can be created in this way (subject to computer memory limitations). If you want to see how to increase the amount of computer memory available to Jim, then click here if you are an MS Windows user, here if you are a Unix user, or here if you are a Mac user.
