Save Image to disk

When the VISUAL MAN interface has an image loaded in interactive, or Manual slideshow mode, you can click on the [image] button to save the image to disk.

The supported formats are: TIF, JPG, BMP and PCX.  LZW compression is not available in the VISUAL MAN interface.

When you select the save command you are given a list of formats.  Pick the format, and respond to the File Save dialog box to complete the save.

If you have zoomed an area of the graphic, The VISUAL MAN interface will save only the data which represents the zoomed area.  To save the entire graphic after zooming, you must click the [image] icon on the remote control form.

.


Print image

When The VISUAL MAN interface has an image loaded in interactive or Manual slideshow mode, you can click on the [image] button to print that image to any printer configured for Windows.

If you have zoomed an area of the graphic, The VISUAL MAN interface will print the FULL image.


View a thumbnail

While in Interactive mode, or while building a slideshow you can view a thumbnail image of the body by Single clicking on the desired area of the body.


Single Clicking

One mouse click on an active window.

Continuous Loop function

The  [image]  button on the remote control configures The VISUAL MAN interface to replay an automatic advance slideshow in a continuous loop until you intervene by clicking on the Slideshow Exit button.

Click on the [image]  button to disable the Continuous loop feature.


Automatic Advance

The automatic slide advancement slideshow is enabled when you specify a non-zero second delay time between slides in the Slideshow Option Box.

  Continuous Loop


Clear Image Display window Between Slides

An option which instructs The VISUAL MAN interface to overlay the display of a new image over a  previously loaded slide.

The effect is similar to peeling away layers of the body.

This is left as a NON-DEFAULT option, as it can be visually unappealing if used on non-adjacent slides.  This mode also requires larger amounts of RAM.   If your system is configured with only 4 megabytes, or if you have memory hungry applications running, the images may fail to display to your screen.    The remedy would be to disable this option, or close the offending application(s).


Manual Advance

This slideshow mode leaves the interactive controls enabled to allow you to navigate your slideshow(s).

Navigation Controls allowed in Manual Slideshow mode.
