Colour-coding the inclination image

 

 

 

Like the azimuth image, the inclination image (see section 2.6 or 2.7) is monochrome, the grey values denoting inclinations from 0° to 180° with respect to the image plane (see sign convention, section 1). Using NIH Image (or Scion Image) and the Lazy LUT macro (key B: "INC strips black 30", see appendix 2), the inclination image can be colour-coded in terms of the visible spectrum of light: blue (short wavelengths) for low, red (long wavelengths) for high values, with 10° colour intervals. Using "INC strips black 30" rather than "INC strips" causes inclination in a cone of 30° about the image normal to be rendered black.
