These properties control image object visualizations. For each property, the type of control and the values that can be assigned are listed, along with the property identifier and allowed values for use by the iTools Procedural Interface. For a description of how a particular control is used, refer to Property Controls.

Interpolation

String List: Method used for interpolating the image. Select a method from the list. Choose from these values:

  • Nearest Neighbor: Assign the value of the nearest pixel to the pixel in the output image. Fastest method, but may cause jagged edges.
  • Bilinear: Create a weighted average based on the nearness and brightness of the closest four pixels, and assign that value to the pixel in the output image.

Default = Nearest Neighbor

INTERPOLATE

0 (Nearest neighbor)

1 (Bilinear)

Z value

Number: Z value of plane onto which to project the image. Edit the number to change the value.

Note - If the Z value is zero then the image visualization is considered to be 2D. If the Z value is nonzero, then the image visualization is considered to be 3D, and the dataspace associated with this image will be automatically switched to 3D.

Default = 0

ZVALUE

Floating point

Grid units

String List: Set grid units type. Choose from:

  • Not applicable
  • Meters
  • Degrees

Default = Not applicable

GRID_UNITS

0 (Not applicable--default)

1 (Meters)

2 (Degrees)

Pixel size (x)

Number: Pixel size for x value.

Default = 1

PIXEL_XSIZE

Floating point

Pixel size (y)

Number: Pixel size for y value.

Default = 1

PIXEL_YSIZE

Floating point

Origin (x)

Number: Origin point for x value.

Default = 0

XORIGIN

Floating point

Origin (y)

Number: Origin point for y value.

Default = 0

YORIGIN

Floating point

Unit label

String: The label for image pixel data units.

GEOMETRY_UNIT_LABEL

String

Image transparency

Number: Transparency of the image, 0% - 100%. Move the slider to change the value. Default = 0 (no transparency)

Note - The transparency is changed by adding an alpha channel to the image. If your image has an alpha channel then the Transparency property is ignored.

TRANSPARENCY

Integer value from 0 to 100.
