Opening more than one image in the clipboard window

The clipboard window can display more than one image in a single window. This is useful to compare one image with another.

To open more than one image in the clipboard window,

  1. Click the first thumbnail representing the image you are going to open.
  2. Click the second thumbnail while the Shift key is already held down (1#1shift-click).
  3. Shift-click any number of the thumbnails if you want.
  4. Click the Clip button on the top of the thumbnail panel, which will make tkDerm to keep the selected images in its memory.
  5. Click the Clipboard button on the top of the thumbnail panel, which will present the clipboard window displaying the selected images.

Clicking the Clip button replaces the images stored in the clipboard memory with the ones you have just selected. If you would like to add images to the memory instead of replacing, click the Clip button while the Shift key is already held down (1#1shift-click). This way enables you to display the images you shot on different occasions in one clipboard window and makes it easier for you to follow up a patient. Of course, it is also possible to display the images of different patients as well as the images of macro and micro photos of a patient.

Caution : On some versions of Tcl/Tk, it could happen that the clipboard window has no image just after it pops up. If this happens, the images will appear when you refresh the window by such a way as moving the scroll bar or resizing the window.
