Create Stand-Alone Color Calibrator Scale Bar

This function creates a stand-alone color bar.

cscale - the color scale number to find in CTab list
bit depth - the image bit depth
wcm - width of color bar (cm)
hcm - height of color bar (cm)
imin, imax - optional range of color bar (otherwise from 0 to 2^bitdepth - 1)

caveat -- you may need to substitute 72 with 96 to run the sizes properly on windows systems

Function make_CalibrationBar(cscale, bitdepth, wcm, hcm, [imin, imax])
	variable cscale, bitdepth, wcm, hcm, imin, imax
	
	variable iwpixels, ihpixels
	string theColorScale = StringFromList(cscale,CTabList())
	
	// min / max of calibration scale
	
	if (ParamIsDefault(imin))
		imin = 0
	endif
	if (ParamIsDefault(imax))
		imax = 2^bitdepth - 1
	endif
	
	// calibator scale size
	
	iwpixels = ceil(2.54*wcm*72)
	ihpixels = ceil(2.54*hcm*72)
	
	// make the image
	
	make/O/N=(iwpixels,ihpixels) calibratorimage
	
	switch(bitdepth)
		case 16:
			Redimension/W/U calibratorimage
			break
		default:
			Redimension/B/U calibratorimage
			break
	endswitch
	
	calibratorimage = imin
	calibratorimage[iwpixels/2][ihpixels/2] = imax
	
	// display it
	
	NewImage/N=CImage calibratorimage
	ModifyGraph/W=CImage width=iwpixels, height=ihpixels
	ModifyGraph/W=CImage nticks=0,axThick=0
	
	// add the color bar
	
	ColorScale/C/N=textCS/F=0/B=1/D={0.1,1,0}/A=MC/X=0.00/Y=0.00 side=2,widthPct=100,heightPct=100,frame=0.00,nticks=0
	ColorScale/C/N=textCS ctab={imin,imax,$theColorScale,0}

	return 0
