The following options for editing plots in the Plots area are provided:
Editing the Plot Title: To customise the title of a plot, double-click in the
top margin of the plot and enter a custom title into the edit field. The title
is added to the heading of the plot.
Moving Plots: Plots can be rearranged within the Plots area by dragging
and dropping. A vertical blue insert cursor highlights the new location of
the plots. When multiple plots are selected and dragged, they are
grouped together and moved as a group. After they are released, they
remain together. The plots displayed in the hierarchy view cannot be
moved.
Deleting Plots: Plots may be removed from the Plots area by selecting
them and pressing the Delete key. Selected plots can also be deleted
using the Delete button in the Edit group on the Analyze tab.
If the deleted plot has a region applied, deleting the plot also deletes the
region and removes the region from any gating logic. In this case, a
corresponding warning message is displayed and you will have the
option to cancel deleting the plot.
Changing parameter properties
To change parameter properties, double-click in the area of the plot
displaying the parameter name. The Parameter Properties dialogue is
launched (see chapter Parameter Properties on page 76).
Changing Plot Parameters
The software provides functionality for changing the parameters of the plots
in the Plots area.
The following options are available:
To change the parameter of an axis of a plot, right-click in the area of the
plot displaying the parameter name. A context menu is displayed that
contains all the parameters currently selected on the Parameters tab of
the Ribbon. Select the required parameter to be displayed in the plot.
When a different parameter is selected, the plot is updated to use the
new parameter. The statistics and report are automatically updated as
well. The following settings are retained when a parameter is changed:
Zoom status of the plot, smooth settings for histogram plots, gating of the
plot, cell cycle options.
If there are regions on the plot, they will be deleted on the plot and in any
gate equations if parameters are changed. In this case, a corresponding
warning message will be displayed and you will have the option to cancel
changing the parameters.
To flip the axes of a dual parameter plot, right-click in the area of the plot
displaying the parameter name. From the context menu, select the "Flip
Axes" option. Any regions on the plot will be retained and flipped as well.
Statistics and reports will automatically update.
