Re: [micro-manager-general] Camera transpose correction

Hi Pavak,

There are some places in the code where these properties are used, but you are correct that they don’t actually affect the images from the camera. If you want to actually rotate the images you might look at the “Image Flipper” which is one of the “On-The-Fly” plugins, this will affect the way that images are displayed and saved.

One place that comes to mind where the Mirror, Transpose, etc. properties are used is the automatic “Pixel Size Calibrator”. Since it needs to correlate motion of the XY stage with motion seen on the camera it uses these properties.

It would be great to have the “Image Flipper” functionality and the Transpose/Mirror  properties that you mention all unified into a single mechanism but if I’m not mistaken it would require some serious overhauling of how cameras are handled in Micro-Manager.

Subject: [micro-manager-general] Camera transpose correction

Are the camera transpose correction properties ignored in 2.0g or have I missed a key step in enabling them? Setting TransposeCorrection, MirrorX, Mirror, or TransposeXY has no effect on the images.

Thank you!
