- WELCOME TO THE WAVELET TOOL DEMO
-
-
- The Wavelet tool is a widget application program
- that graphically demonstrates the image compression
- capabilities of Wavelet Transforms.
-
- THE WAVELET TOOL DISPLAY
- ------------------------
-
- The Wavelet tool display screen includes the
- following elements:
-
- - A group of menus at the top of the display
- controlling the program options.
-
- - A 256x256 byte display of the uncompressed image.
-
- - A 256x256 byte display of the compressed image.
-
- - A visual display of the wavelet basis of both
- the original image and the compressed image.
-
- - A graph showing the ratio between actual values
- in the wavelet basis (Y) and the percentage of
- compression (X) that would result if the Y
- value was used as the threshold for compression.
-
- - An optional 256x256 byte display window that
- displays the difference between the compressed
- and uncompressed images. The difference image
- has been byte scaled.
-
-
- MENU OPTIONS
- ------------
-
- File Menu:
-
- Select "Open" to select a new image. A list
- of files will appear. Click on one of the
- listed items to select a new image.
-
- Select "Quit" to exit the Wavelet demo.
-
- Options Menu:
-
- Select "4 coefficients" to compute the wavelet
- basis using 4 Daubechies coefficients.
-
- Select "12 coefficients" to comput the wavelet
- basis using 12 Daubechies coefficients.
-
- Select "20 coefficients" to comput the wavelet
- basis using 20 Daubechies coefficients.
-
- Select "Show difference image" to create a
- pop-up window that shows the difference
- between the original an compressed images.
-
- Tools Menu:
-
- Select "XLoadCT" to activate the XLOADCT
- routine, which allows you to select a new
- color table for the displayed images.
-
- Select "XPalette" to activate the XPALETTE
- routine, which allows you to create your
- own color table.
-
- Select "XMNtool" to activate the XMANTOOL
- routine, which allows you to control the
- currently-running widget applications.
-
- About Menu:
-
- Select "About wavelets" to display this file.

- FEATURES OF THE WAVELET DEMO
- ----------------------------
-
- <<PERCENTAGE SLIDER>>
- Adjust the slider to change the amount of
- compression used. Higher percentage compression
- values mean smaller data sets.
-
- You can also adjust the compression percentage
- by positioning the mouse pointer in the
- "Adjust compression" plot, holding down the
- left mouse button, and dragging the vertical
- line that appears in the plot.
