About the Profile Table window

The Profile Table window displays the RGB values, x and y positions, and scaled distances for each pixel included in the overlaid vector segment. Pixels are incremented automatically and you can make a variety of statistical and graphical adjustments.

In the Sample column, an automatic increment for each pixel along the vector is displayed. Pixel 1 is the first pixel at the vector point of origin.

In each of the Channel columns (Channel 1, Channel 2, Channel 3, and so on), the pixel value for the color you have mapped to that channel is displayed.

In the Pixel/Line column, a pixel and line coordinate location for each pixel along the vector is displayed.

In the X Position column, the x-coordinate for each pixel along the vector is displayed.

In the Y Position column, the y-coordinate for each pixel along the vector is displayed.

In the Distance column, the scale distance for each pixel relative to the image scale is displayed. Distances are expressed in the unit of measure corresponding to the image in the view pane.

Switch to the Profile Graph window Graph The Profile Graph window becomes active.
View statistics for each channel in a selected layer Statistics The Profile Statistics window appears.
In the following columns, statistics are calculated automatically:
  • Sample Min
  • Sample Max
  • Sample Avg
  • Weighted Avg
Statistics are a summary of the sample gray values along the profile. The weighted average is the most accurate measure of central tendency among the sample points. The weight of a sample gray value is the ratio of the length of a sample interval over the total distance of all the sample intervals.
Save the table information to a text file Save The Save Table window appears, in which you can select a folder and file name.
Select options for the profile Options The Profile Options window appears, in which you can select options for the profile, including setting up the profile to print without mensuration bars.
