Canvas X

Canvas X is the single most cost-effective, integrated solution for the creation, enhancement, presentation and sharing of technical illustrations and graphics.

Professionals that work with technical illustrations and graphics find themselves increasingly challenged by the need to communicate and collaborate with colleagues and clients on very complex, mission critical projects. To further complicate matters, these initiatives may need to be managed across different time zones, using a variety of software applications, and even different operating systems. In these situations, the collaborative process must be reliable, accurate, flexible, and cost-effective.

In response to these growing needs, Canvas X has emerged as a unique, affordable, cross-platform solution.

Specialised Versions available - see lower down the page, or click on these links: CanvasX with Scientific Imaging and CanvasX with GIS+.

  Adding the Scientific Imaging module to Canvas X provides users unprecedented access to the first product of its kind to incorporate a wide array of tools to accurately measure, analyse, import, and export digital images with up to 32 bits of floating point pixel data per channel.
  For professionals who regularly gather and analyse data from scientific imagers, scanners, and custom data collection instruments, Canvas X with Scientific Imaging adds support for 8/16/FP32 depth images, over a dozen ImageJ and NIH Image compliant filters, direct access to numeric image data, and support for industry standard DICOM format files.
  Make the most of your data
Specialised imaging instrumentation within the medical and other related scientific industries often creates DICOM image files that contain 16 bits of data per grayscale channel. Adding the Scientific Imaging module to Canvas X offers a number of DICOM import options that target the need to study, enhance, and apply visualization effects to this specialized information.
  Leverage advanced visualisation features
A number of highly specialised filters enable users to visually enhance an image according to user-defined parameters thereby allowing users to see things that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye.
