Plots

General Settings

The settings for saving a plot, changing the colors, and displaying a plot are the same for all different kinds of plots.

The Save Plot box (1) is used to save the plot with a name and a file type of your choosing. The width and height of the plot are given in millimeters. Once the Save Plot button is pressed, the plot will be saved in the current workspace.
The Colors box sets up the colors for the different plot elements. Colors are given as HTML color codes or hexadecimal codes. Either individually (a) or as text separated by semicolons (b). Different color inputs can be viewed and chosen through the color list (c). The switch (d) is used to change between the different color inputs (a & b). Hexcodes for different colors can be found on websites such as htmlcolorcodes.
Through the Plot Updates (3) box the active plot can be either viewed as size reduced preview plot (e) in the preview box or in fullsize in a modal window (f). The modal plot window includes the created plot and 3 buttons to make the plot an interactive html plot (1), to quicksave the plot in the current workspace (2) and to save the plot as .rData file (3) for later editing in R.
The interactive plot can be used to analyze plots in more detail, by allowing the user to zoom in oder get extra infos when hovering over specific parts of the plot.

Boxplots

• Data
  • Select which series to display as box plots (1) and how to label them under the X-axis (2).
  • Choose whether to display the "Before/Bef" boxes (3).
  • Adding spacer boxes (4), which can be removed later by editing the graph, can be useful to obtain boxes of the same size when creating several plots with different number of series.
  • Select whether outliers should be part of the plot or not (5&6).
• Composition
  • Add or remove the error bars from the boxes (7).
  • Add or remove the jitter/dots from the boxes (8).
  • Add or remove violin plots (9).
  • Add or remove the number of observations (10).
  • Add or remove the p-values of the selected significance test (11).
  • Add or remove the stars corresponding to the p-values of the significance test (12).
  • Add or remove the display of the median +- standard deviation (13).
• Tests
  • Change the statistic test which will be used to test data (14).
• Sizes
  • Change the font size of all text elements in the plot (15).
  • Change the size of the displayed P-Values relative to the other text elements (16).
  • Change the line size (17).
  • Change the jitter point size (18).
• P-Values
  • Change the placement type (19) either to Absolute (All extra info elements will be at the same height) or to Relative (All extra info elements will be placed above the individual boxes).
  • Change the distance between the top of the boxes and the observation count (20).
  • Change the distance between the top/bottom of the boxes and the significance stars (21&22).
  • Change the distance between the significance stars and the p-values (23).
• Other
  • Set the limits of the y-axis (24).
  • Set the angle of the x-axis labels (25).
  • Set the transparency of the jitter points (26).
  • Set the design for the plot. It is recommended to use the theme with the same name as the plot for maximum compability. The analysis themes are giving extra tools such as gridlines (27).
  • Set the label of the Y-Axis. Use one of the prewritten templates or use a custom one (28).
  • Change the used font (29).
  • Use fixed plot dimension (30).

Ratioplots

• Settings for ratioplots are identical to boxplots.

Single Traces

• Data
  • Select the series (summary sheet) which contains the data to be displayed (1).
  • Select the measurements to be displayed (2).
  • Select the measurement values to be displayed (3).
• Settings
  • Change the legend labels of the selected measurements (4).
  • Display the plot as whole or splitted at the reverse potential (5).
  • Seperate the legend from the plot and save it as individual file (8).

Matrix Traces

• Settings are identical to previous plots

Median Traces

• Settings
  • Select the way the displayed deviations are calculated (1).
  • Select the direction the deviation shadow will be displayed (+ for on top of the line; - for underneath the line) (2).
• Other options are identical to previous plots.

P-Plot

• Settings are identical to previous plots.

Stitched Plots

Stitched Plots complete

• Data
  • Select the columns which will be displayed (1). The arrows indicate the position in the final plot.
• Settings
  • Adding spacer plots(2), which can be removed later by editing the graph, can be useful to obtain plots of the same size when creating several plots with different number of series.
• All remaining options are identical to previous plots.
