completed by clicking on the start point. If there are at least three points,
the polygon is also completed by right-clicking (which will complete the
polygon by adding a line from the last to first point). Double-clicking on a
line inserts a new point which can then be moved to create a modified
region.
Linear Region: Click the region type button. Then either click on a single
parameter plot to set a default sized linear region, centred on the point
where the plot was clicked. Alternatively click onto a single parameter
plot and drag out a line to determine the region size. The same linear
region can be applied to multiple selected single parameter plots by
pressing the Ctrl key while clicking to add the region.
Quadrant Region: Quadrant regions are formed from two divider lines
(one vertical, one horizontal). Click the Quadrant Region button, and then
click onto a dual parameter plot at the point on the plot where you wish
the quadrant’s intercept to appear. By hovering the cursor over the
quadrant intercept, a statistic is displayed for each quadrant. The same
quadrant region can be applied to multiple selected dual parameter plots
by pressing the Ctrl key while clicking to add the region.
When a broad distribution of events is observed, you may need to create
non-linear quadrant dividers. The control point on the right and top can
be used to move the horizontal and vertical dividers respectively to a
higher channel than the intercept point, creating a "Bendy Quad" region.
If the "Bent" divider is moved to a lower value than the intercept point, the
divider returns to its straight form.
Editing regions
On selecting a region, the Region Format tab becomes available on the
Ribbon providing options to edit region name and colour, region type and
position and to link regions (see chapter 12.4.15 Region Format tab on
page 128).
Additionally, the region orientation, size and position can be edited by
selecting a region on a plot and dragging the handles displayed on the
selected region, as indicated by the cursor.
The region can be moved by selecting between the handles, as indicated by
the move cursor, then dragging the region to a new position.
If you change the region size or position unintentionally, click the Undo
button in the Quick Access Toolbar to restore the previous size or position.
The options for the different region types are:
Ellipse: Elliptical regions have four control points that will be displayed
when you click on a region to select it. You can use these control points
to resize, rotate and move the elliptical region. While an elliptical region is
being moved or resized, the coordinates of the centre, the axes length
and the rotation angle in degrees are displayed.
Rectangle: Rectangular regions have eight control points that will be
displayed when you click on a region to select it. You can use these
