Plot editing: Identification of plotted symbols

Description

These functions allow the user to identify points in Figaro-compatible plots.

Usage

figIdentify()

highlightSelection()

Details

'figIdentify' identifies points closest to a mouse pointer, if a mouse button is pressed. For binary and ternary plots, sample names are plotted; for spider plots the function prints the sample name, concentration of the given element (in ppm) and highlights the whole pattern. The identification is terminated by pressing the right button and selecting 'Stop' from the menu.

'highlightSelection' allows the selected analyses to be highlighted. The samples can be selected based on combination of three searching mechanisms (by sample name/label, range or a Boolean condition) - see selectSubset for details.

If the search results are empty or embrace all samples, the user is given a chance to select the samples from the list of their names. Press Ctrl+click to select multiple ones.

For binary and ternary plots, Press Esc in the Console window to stop the points blinking. In spider plots are shown overall ranges of normalized concentrations (by a gray field) with superimposed patterns for selected samples.
