Pixel Details

Get the exact coordinate and the pixel’s band values. Use this to verify what the renderer is showing, read raw values for a pixel, or copy a precise location for sharing or downstream analysis.

When it appears: Contextual Details Panel → Properties tab → Pixel Details

Availability: This sub-property appears for the following raster sub-types:

  • Panchromatic
  • Multispectral
  • Hyperspectral
  • SAR
  • Thermal
  • Heightmap

What you can do​

  • Read the location (lon, lat) of the sampled pixel.
  • See band values (for optical this is typically Red/Green/Blue; for other rasters, labels reflect available bands or channels).
  • Copy the location to your clipboard for reuse in tickets, notes, or queries.

This panel is read-only. It reflects the pixel currently sampled in the viewport.

Troubleshooting​

  • Values look wrong or empty → Verify bit-depth, NoData, and that you’re inside the raster extent.
  • Thermal or SAR units unclear → Check Metadata for unit and scale factors.
  • Copied coordinate opens the wrong place elsewhere → Confirm the target tool expects WGS84 lon,lat order.
