About the 3-D Data Cube window

In the 3-D Data Cube window, you can view a three-dimensional display of multilayer data, including hyperspectral.

The excavation is determined and applied by default when you open the window. The starting point of the excavation is the lower-right corner, x-maximum and y-maximum, and the topmost image layer z-minimum.

Under Cube Excavation, the boxes, check boxes, and sliders beside X, Y, and Z control how you can manipulate the excavation of the cube along the x, y, and z axes, respectively.

Beside X, Y, and Z, you can type or select a value in the box to set the height, width, and depth of the excavated portion of the cube, as applicable. You can also drag the slider for finer control of setting the value. By selecting a check box, you can lock one or more of the axes, and then rotate the mouse wheel forward or backward to set the values simultaneously. For example, when you select the check box beside X and Y, rotate the mouse forward to increase the value for both, or rotate the mouse backward to decrease the value for both.

When you have one or more of the axes locked, you can still type or select a value, or drag the slider for any axis. For example, with X, Y, and Z locked, you can enter new values for X and Z.

The minimum value of each box is 1. The maximum value is the number of layers in the data set. The maximum for the x-axis is the maximum number of pixels displayed in the Focus view pane. The maximum for the y-axis is the maximum number of lines displayed in the Focus view pane, and the maximum for the z-axis corresponds to the number of image channels in the file. Each single-digit increment removes one pixel, line, or channel from the display.

Under Flip Controls, you can control the orientation of the excavation. You can flip the excavated area a full 180 degrees in the x, y, or z dimensions.
