4.3.2 Load Mapping

The load mapping function allows the user to retrieve a mapping from a display and LUT file (DLTF) and apply it to the displayed image. An attempt is made to locate the specified DLTF entry in the DLTF associated with the first band of the displayed image. An attempt is also made to match the band numbers of the displayed image with the band numbers stored in the DLTF entry. If a match cannot be made, the first 3 LUTs of the DLTF entry are used. If the DLTF does not exist, if the user does not have permission to read from the file, or the DLTF entry does not exist in the associated file, a popup panel with an error message is displayed and the user is required to enter a DLTF name.

DLTF Entry Name:
A text field which allows the user to enter the name associated with the LUT to be loaded. This name may contain up to 12 characters. The DLTF entry name is accepted and verified when the user presses return.

Cancel:
Close the load mapping panel without loading a mapping from the DLTF.

DLTF Name (Popup Panel):

A text field which allows the user to enter a DLTF name. This is necessary if the DLTF associated with the displayed image does not exist, if the user does not have read access to the DLTF, or if the specified entry cannot be found in the associated DLTF. This name may be entered either as a host name or as an LAS name. The DLTF name is accepted and verified when the user presses return.

Cancel (Popup Panel):
Close both the DLTF popup panel and the load mapping panel without loading a mapping from the DLTF.
