Creating a plot (visualisation)
After creating a result from the raw data, you may want to visualise your result. The Bioinformatic Studio
uses the R software
to create
high quality plots. So it is necessary for a visualisation to have a local R installation.
- Right-click the result in the result table to open the popup menu.
- Select Visualize
In this submenu there will be a list of visualisations which are connected to the engine result. (See Menu Customizer
for create a connection).
There will be two visualisations:
- AaDistributionBoxPlot
- AaDistributionHistogram
- Select AaDistibutionHistogram
AaDistributionHistogram will get you a histogram with the frequency of an amino acid in a sequence and
the number of sequences where the amino acid occures with the given frequency. So you have to choose an amino acid
and a dataset to create this plot.
- Select the amin acid for which you want the frequency
- Select the dataset you want to use
Again, a progressbar will appear while the Bioinformatik Studio is performing the visualisation by sending the data
to the R software which creates the plot. When the plot is ready, it will be shown in a seperate frame.
A right-click in the plot frame will open a popup menu with the following content:
- Save Data To...
This option saves the data (text only) which created that result.
- Save As EPS...
Opens a file dialog to save the plot to an .eps file
- Save As PNG...
Opens a file dialog to save the plot to an .png file
- Save As EMF... (only available on Windows platforms)
Opens a file dialog to save the plot to an .emf file
- Save all
Opens a file dialog to save all above formats (except .emf, this is only for Windows platforms)
- Send to lpr
Send the plot to the default lpr. (only for UNIX/Linux platforms)
