The region name can also be changed from the Appearance group of the
Region Format tab (see chapter Appearance group on page 128).
The region name can be repositioned but cannot be dragged outside the
plot.
Region colour
When a region is created (except for quadrant regions), it is automatically
assigned a colour. There is a set of ten predefined region colours within the
software.
The region colour can be changed in the Region group of the Home tab (see
chapter Region group on page 65) or from the Region Format tab (see
chapter Appearance group on page 128).
Regions and gates
Any existing plot can be gated by selecting the required region or gate from
the "Gate" drop-down list on the Home tab (see chapter Gate group on
page 67).
When a region on a plot is selected, the plots in the Previews area are gated
on the selected region. The heading of the Previews area displays the name
of the region and is highlighted with its colour.
If a plot gated on a region is added to the Plots area, a gate associated with
this region is automatically created with the same name and colour as the
region. The plot in the Plots area is marked with this colour.
If a region is added to one of the gated plots and then selected, plots in the
Previews area will become gated on the new region. If you now add a new
plot to the Plots area, it will be gated on a compound gate consisting of both
the original gate of the plot (the parent gate) and the newly added region.
The gate name and colour can be changed in the Edit Gates dialogue of the
Analyze tab (see chapter Gate group on page 69).
Scaling
For high-resolution data files, a parameter can be displayed in three different
formats: linear, logarithmic and V-Log. This is selectable from the Home tab
(see chapter Parameters group on page 66) or from the Plot Format tab
(see chapter X-Axis group on page 125).
The scaling of parameters can be customised in a number of ways using the
scaling and zoom options available in the Scales group of the Parameters
tab (see chapter Scales group on page 80).
If you change the zoom status on a plot with a region, the region position
does not change. You may need to reposition any regions set on zoomed
parameters.
