Show pixel value #182

Open tischi opened 6 years ago

tischi commented 6 years ago

In the upper right corner one can always see the current pixel coordinates under the mouse, which is great!

However, is there a reason why it does not also show the current pixel value?

IMHO, in the daily life of a bioimage analyst this is an absolute must-have...

I understand, if the pixel type is "Animal" you might not want (be able) to show it, but for all NumericTypes it should be no problem, or are there some conceptual issues?

No, no conceptual issues. It is easy to add. I'm not sure whether it should be enabled by default, but could be a BdvOption

If Bdv will becomes the new default viewer in ImageJ I think it should be enabled by default. You could post on IJ Forum if you want more opinions, but I am pretty sure that everybody would like to have this features, because, as I can see, there is no real downside to it.
