Options

The Selection and Plotting Options sections can be expanded and collapsed using the check boxes beside the section headings.

Selection

Highlight Same Group Data on Selection - When the Highlight Same Group Data on Selection check box is selected and user selects a line of data from the graph, all of the data from the subject within the query will be selected. If the check box is not selected only the line of data that was clicked on will become selected.

Show excluded data - The Show excluded data check box adds any data that has been excluded to the graph when it is selected. if the check box is not selected then the lines remain hidden.

Select cross-group data - When Select cross-group data is selected it allows the user to click on a data line and if there is data from the same subject and frame period in a different group that line will also be highlighted.

Exclude traces for all groups - The Exclude traces for all groups check box allows the user to exclude all the lines of data for a particular subject and frame period across all of the groups.

Use short names on selection - If the Use short name on selection check box is selected then the group name, .cmo file name, .c3d file name, and the frame range will be shown when a line on the plot is selected. If it is not selected then the .c3d file path will be given instead of just the file name.

De-selected alpha (0-255) - The De-selected alpha sets the transparency level of the lines that are not selected on the graph.

Exclusion Display Type - The Exclusion Display Type shows how much of a participant's data has not been excluded next to the subject in the Group Subjects list. The options are None, Fraction, and Percentage.

Plotting options

Display Styles from - This can be set to Group, Workspace, Sub-Group or Cluster. When set to Group the colours of the lines on the graph will be based on the colour query group that the line belongs to. When set to Workspace the colours of the lines on the graph will be based on the colour of the Workspace that the line belongs to, and so on. This dropdown menu is duplicated under the Line Styles tab. Changes to one Display Styles from dropdown will synchronously update the other. After choosing a style to display, hit Refresh Plot in the I3D workspace to apply changes.

Show data not found - When the Show data not found is checked then data that is missing from the .cmo file will be graphed as -999 999.0. If the check box is left unchecked data with a value of -999 999.0 will be ignored.

Auto-scale graphs - When the Auto-scale graphs check box is selected the graph will be adjusted so that all of the lines on the graph are aligned with the edges of the graph.

Use selected subjects for group mean - When the Use selected subjects for group mean check box is selected only the subjects who are selected on the left will be used in the group mean calculations.

Refresh plot on selection change - When the Refresh plot on selection change check box is selected the general graph will update as soon as check boxes to plot means, standard deviations, and raw data are selected and deselected. If the check box remains unselected the user must click on the Refresh Plot button at the bottom of the graph section in order to refresh the selected graph.

Show vertical line for video and animations - When the Show vertical line for video and animation check box is selected and an animation or video is playing (either from the Video button or the Animation Button) a line will appear on the general graph to indicate the position of the video/animation relative to the data on the graph.

St. Dev. alpha (0-255) - The standard deviation alpha sets the transparency of the standard deviation area when it is graphed.

Use confidence interval for st. dev. - The Use confidence interval for st. dev. check box uses the confidence interval instead of the standard deviation for the graphs in the general graph section.

P-Value (%) - The P-Value drop down controls the thickness of the confidence interval on the general graph. The options for the drop down menu include 1%, 5%, and 10%.

Graph Rows - The Graph Rows counter controls how many rows of graphs are in the general graphs section.

Graph Columns - The Graph Columns counter controls how many columns of graphs are in the general graphs section.

Plot view type - The Plot view type allows the user to control the settings of the Show Graphs drop down menu. The options are Single, Row and Column. The Single option sets the drop down to list Graph n,n which, when selected will bring that Graph to full screen. The Row option sets the drop down list to Row 1, Row 2, ... Row n, which when selected limits the graphs to the graphs in the chosen row. The Column option sets the drop down list to Column 1, Column 2, ... Column n, which when selected limits the graphs to the graphs in the chosen column.

Graph View Count - The Graph View Count allows the user to group rows of graphs together. For example, if there are 4 rows of graphs and the Graph View count is set to 2 the Show Graphs drop down will have Row 1,2 and Row 3,4 and when double clicking on the graphs in row 1 or 2 both rows will be shown.

Line Style

The style section of the dialogue box allows the user to change the style of both the group, subject, or condition lines. The user selects the lines that they wish to alter by selecting either Group, Subject or Condition in the drop down menu at the top of the tab.

When set to Group the colours of the lines on the graph will be based on the colour query group that the line belongs to.

This dropdown menu is duplicated under the Line Styles tab. Changes to one Display Styles from dropdown will synchronously update the other. After choosing a style to display, hit Refresh Plot in the I3D workspace to apply changes.
