Displaying Images
Imviz uses image viewers to visualize data from supported formats.

Adding New Viewers
In the toolbar towards the top of the UI, there is a 
icon
that when clicked will add new viewers to the application. You can then select from the data
that has been loaded into the application to be visualized in these additional viewers.
You can then utilize some of the Imviz-specific features, like Pan/Zoom and Linked Pan/Zoom.
Defining Spatial Regions
Spatial regions can be created the same way as in Cubeviz.

Blinking
Blinking is an Imviz-specific functionality that allows a user to quickly switch
between viewing two or more images, as long as they are linked
(see Pan/Zoom and Linked Pan/Zoom for more on linking behavior). This can be done
by selecting the 
icon and then clicking the
right arrow icon. You can also blink by selecting the “b” key on your keyboard.
Contrast/Bias
In addition to changing contrast and bias information in the layer tab
(see Contrast), Imviz has a 
button
under the menu that can also edit those options. After clicking
that button, you can click and drag on the image viewer to change to change the contrast
and bias. Moving along the X-axis will change the bias and moving along the Y-axis will change the
contrast. If you would like to reset to the default contrast and bias settings, you can
double-click on the display while the mode is active.
Cursor Information
By moving your cursor along the image viewer, you will be able to see information on the cursor’s location in pixel space (X and Y), the RA and Dec at that point, and the value of the data there. This information is located in the top bar of the UI, on the middle-right side.
Pan/Zoom and Linked Pan/Zoom
Linked pan zoom is an Imviz-specific feature that allows the user to Pan and Zoom
images in multiple different viewers simultaneously. This works by matching images
based on the way they are linked together. Images are linked by pixels on load time,
but you can re-link them via WCS using link_data.
Regular Pan/Zoom is also available and is used in a similar way as other Jdaviz tools.
