Zoom to default size – Some plots default to a zoom level different than ‘fit’. For those plots, this button resets the zoom level to the default initially shown.

Zoom to fit data – Fit means ‘zoom all the way out.’ On plots, scale out to the limits of the data.

Zoom in – Zoom in by a factor of 1.5. On image displays, this will zoom in by this factor, centered on the middle of the display. For plots, this button zooms only the y-axis scale (use the Zoom to labels or mouse freehand zooming functions described below to zoom the x-axis).

Zoom out – Zoom out by a factor of 1.5. On image displays, this will zoom out by this factor, centered on the middle of the display. For plots, this will zoom only the y-axis scale and, unlike most zoom operations, this will zoom out past the data limits (to allow the user to get a better perspective of the data).

Zoom to x-axis labels – This button only appears in the flowgram viewers; it zooms the x-axis of the flowgram so that the nucleotide/flow characters can fit below the axis.

Save chart as image file – Save a snapshot image of the current view to disk. This will open a dialog asking for a location and file name, and then will save a PNG image file at the location specified. For Summary data tables, this saves the whole tabular area, while for all other displays the saved image contains only the visible region of the element.

Save chart data to tab-separated values file – Save an Excel-compatible, tab-delimited text file of the spreadsheet data for this graphic. This will open a dialog asking for the location and file name to save the file. It then saves the data, along with summary information describing where the data came from, as shown below (a file portion saved from a well flowgram):

For plots, the spreadsheet file contains the data currently being plotted. For a tri-flowgram view (see Section 3.5.3), the data for all three plot subsections is saved to one file, with white space between subsection plot data. For Summary data tables, the spreadsheet contains the table data. If a plot and a summary present the same data, there may be only one spreadsheet button, attached to whichever constitutes the superset of the data.

Close – Close a flowgram window. The “x” icon in the upper right window corner will also close the window.
