JS9 Demo: a supermenu to control multiple displays
A supermenu (a JS9 Menubar whose id starts with SUPERMENU_, and
with a data-displays attribute) can control multiple JS9 displays
simultaneously, so you can change colormaps, scales, etc. on all
displays. Or click on an individual display to make it the selected
display for the supermenu. Click that display again (or another
display) to unselect. Thus, a supermenu can control several displays
collectively or each one individually.
In this demo, we have loaded Chandra (red), Galex (green), and
Spitzer (blue) images of colliding galaxies NGC 2207 and IC 2163 into
a single display:
- With a single display, the supermenu behaves like a normal menu
- Choose "File:separate these images" to make three separate displays
- Use the Scale menu to change the scale of all three images to "histeq" and back to "log"
- Choose "WCS:wcs reproject:chandra.fits" to reproject the Spiter and Galex images using the Chandra WCS (reproject does not act on itself).
- Change the contrast/bias individually on any of the images (i.e., mouse manipulation is still tied to the individual images)
- You also can move the two Spitzer and Galex displays around in the page (i.e., they are lightweight windows)
- Click the chandra.fits (red) image to select it as the supermenu's target image (notice it gets a green highlighted border)
- Choose "File: gather all images here" to move the Spitzer and Galex images back to the original display
- Choose "View: Blending", add each image to the blend list, using "screen" mode, then turn on Image Blending to view the blended images as one
- Again choose "File:separate these images" to make three displays, so you can adjust contrast/bias individually
- Choose "File: gather all images here" to move the Spitzer and Galex images back and display the blended images (since blending is still turned on)
