Question
Can you supply an explanation of the format the data from a rectangular iso-candela plot is saved in when saved as a text file? I can open the data in notepad, but I have no idea how the list of candela numbers is geometrically organized.
Synopsis
Data Format for Text File saved from a Rectangular Iso Candela Plot
Solution
If you divide the Rectangular Iso-Candela Plot in TracePro into a 128 x 128 grid, then the values in the text file are the Candela values for each cell in the grid, in tab-delimited format (i.e. numbers are separated by tabs). These values are the same as those displayed in the Status Bar at the bottom of the screen when you drag your mouse across the plot. You may find it easier to follow the 128 x 128 grid if you open the text file in a spreadsheet application (e.g. - Excel) - then each number will go into a separate cell arranged in a square grid.
