Scatter plot example

The scatter plot, as its name implies, displays a scatter plot where the coordinates are read either from a dataset text file, usually some tsne plot, or from the summary plot terms (see below). To control features of the plot, to the top left there is a burguer menu, where you can set the plot width and height or the sample size, for example. The color and shape attributes allow you to select a dictionary term to color or shape samples based on the term values.

Scatter summary plot example

Down to the left there are tools to zoom in/out the plot, move it, download it, etc. The lasso toggle allows you to select samples and, for example, create a filter or create groups of samples to do analysis. Once a group is created you can access menu options like 'Survival Analysis' or 'Summarize' to open new plots for the analysis of the samples selected.

Group menu

If Survival Analysis is selected a survival plot for the group menu would open on top of the scatter plot:

To the right, you can see the legend, displaying the categories found for the dictionary terms, with their corresponding colors or shapes. You can edit the colors, and show or hide categories, interacting with this legend.

When using numeric terms to color the samples, continuous mode can be set on the term, in which case a color gradient is used to color the samples.
