HELP SECTION
CURVALUE
Type: Verb
Use: To perform an interactive display of the pixel locations and
values of those images visible on the TV. The X and Y pixel
coordinates, the pixel value, and the units of the pixel value
are displayed in TV graphics channels 2 and 8 at the upper left
hand corner of the display. The cursor position determines which
pixel is shown. Button D causes the verb to exit. The pixel
values are read from disk, if possible, to preserve accuracy and
dynamic range. When the images were loaded by another computer
or were temporary images (e.g., IMAGR residuals), the pixel
values are read from the TV and suffer from limited accuracy and
clipping
Adverbs: none
