Range: When this option is selected, the range of the Z axis is
calculated from image data; when this option is unchecked, the range of
the Z axis is defined by the image type.
Legend: When the surface plot draw mode is either "Color" or "Wire," Image-Pro provides a legend that describes the scale to which the color modulation corresponds. Click the Legend tool to show and hide the legend. Click the arrow to the right of the Legend tool to access Position control. This control allows you specify where in the surface plot display you want the legend to appear.
