K-Means clustering window properties

Show all profiles (    ):

To show all the profiles contained in the clusters, click the    button (Show all profiles) on the K-Means window tool bar, or select Thumbnails|Show All Profiles from the K-Means window menu bar. To go back to showing the mean profiles click the    button (Show Mean Only) on the K-Means window tool bar, or select Thumbnails|Show Mean Profile Only from the K-Means window menu bar. 

Saving an image of the thumbnails (    ):

To save an image of the thumbnails, click the button on the K-Means window tool bar or select select Image | Save from the K-means menu bar. Locate the folder where you want to save the image by clicking the browse button, set the appropriate file extension, and enter a filename. Click OK.

Printing the thumbnails (    ):

To print the thumbnails click the    button on the K-Means window tool bar.

Export to HTML (    ):

To generate a HTML version of the thumbnails, click the    button (Export To HTML) on the K-Means window tool bar, or select Thumbnails|Export to HTML on the K-Means window menu bar. Select a location and a name for the html file (remember to include the .html extension) in the dialog that appears. A subdirectory containing images for the web page will be created along with a HTML file that shows thumbnails of the clusters, and lists the contents of each cluster.

Antialiasing (    ):

To improve the visual quality of the thumbnails click the    button (Antialiasing) on the K-Means window tool bar, or select Line Chart|Toggle Antialias from the K-Means window menu bar. The aliased (jagged) edges on the graphs and text will disappear.

Note: on large datasets this function can be time-consuming. If you experience long pauses while refreshing or generating displays we suggest turning Antialiasing off.

Toggle Colors (    ):

To use group colors in the graphs, click the    button (Toggle Colors) on the K-Means window toolbar or select Thumbnails|Toggle Group Colors from the K-Means window menu bar.

Put in Tree

To place the entire component into the project tree click the     button, Thumbnails|Put in Tree from the K-means window menu bar. This creates a new node with the symbol    in the project tree that acts as a direct shortcut to the current component.

Show Variance Diagram (    ):

Select Thumbnails|Show Variance Diagram from the K-Means menu bar to open the Variance window. This window shows a square grid of cells, where each cell represents a cluster. The cells are color-coded to show the amount of variance in each cluster according to the color key table on the left side of the window. Hovering the mouse cursor over a cell displays a tool tip with the exact Single Variance, Between Variance and Cluster Size values of the cluster represented by the cell. If the box Clustersize as alpha is checked, the number of profiles in a cluster will indicated by the transparency of a cell against a grey grid background. A highly transparent cell contains few profiles, whereas an almost opaque cell contains many profiles. Click on a cell to highlight the corresponding thumbnail in the K-Means window. Click the Close button to close the variance window.

Use Scrollbars (    ):

By default, the thumbnails are not scaled to fit the K-means window. If all thumbnails do not fit in the K-means window, scrollbars will appear to enable you to examine all thumbnails. If thumbnails have been scaled to fit the window, you can go back to using the scroll bars by clicking the    button (Use scrollbars) or select Thumbnails | Horisontal Scroll from the K-means window menu bar. Set the thumb width by dragging the grey column-header.

Fit in Window (    ):

To scale the thumbnails according to the window size, click the    button (Fit in window) or select Thumbnails | Horisontal Fit from the K-means window menu bar.

  

Visual Properties

Right click on a thumbnail to set the visual properties for the K-means thumbnails, or select Thumbnails |    Thumbnail Layout from the K-means window menu bar. The options are:

Focusing on single clusters:

To focus on a single cluster simply click on its thumbnail. A new tab appears labeled with the ID number of that cluster. Clicking on the new tab brings up a Gene Graph viewer showing all the profiles contained in that cluster.

Branch dataset (    ):

One additional feature that exists for the zoomed selection in the K-Means window is to branch the dataset into a new node in the Project Tree. To do this, select the tab that contains the data you want to branch. Then click the    button on the K-Means window tool bar, or select Line Chart|Branch Data Set from the K-Means window menu bar. A new node will be added below the current one in the Project Tree labeled with the K-Means symbol   .

Remove tabs (    ):

To remove a tab from the K-Means window select the tab to be removed. Then click the    button (Delete Active Tab) on the K-Means window tool bar, or select Line Chart|Delete Active Tab from the K-Means window menu bar.

Put in Tree

To place the entire component into the project tree select Thumbnails|Put in Tree from the thumbnails menu bar. This creates a new node in the project tree that acts as a direct shortcut to the current component.

Open External Link (    ):

Shadow Unselected (    ):

Create Group(s) (    ) :

The Create Group(s) (    ) button will create a group that can be managed further by the Group Controller (    ) on the J-Express Pro main tool bar.

Zoom/Frame Area (    ):

Move (    ):

The move(    ) button enables you to grab the graph window using the mouse cursor instead of using the scrollbars (if the graph is to big to fit in the window).

Repaint (    ):

If changes you make do not take effect immediately, press the    button (Update and Repaint).

Copy image to Clipboard (    );

To copy the image in any of the tabs to clipboard, click the    button.
