Abstract
Systems and methods that provide a multitude of new ways to interact with the data are provided. One purpose of index sort analysis may be to visualize where particular cells are in the plate device and on the bi-variate plots. The user can ‘select’ particular cell events either by clicking on the plate wells or by clicking and selecting an area of interest on the plots. The corresponding selection of cell events may then then be coordinated to maintain a consistent representation of the events on visualizations (e.g., one or more user interfaces).
Claims14
A system for coordinated graphics control, the system comprising:
- one or more processing devices;
- a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one of the one or more processing devices, cause the system to at least:
- receive an identifier for a collection vessel for receiving particles of a sample;
- cause display of a collection interface, wherein the collection interface includes a plurality of interactive elements, each interactive element of the plurality of interactive elements corresponding to a collection location of the collection vessel;
- receive, from an input device, a selection event identifying an interactive element included in the plurality of interactive elements;
- and
- cause display of a second interface for presenting a measurement for a particle of the sample, the measurement corresponding to a portion of the particles of the sample, wherein the portion of the particles sorted into a collection location corresponding to the interactive element selected includes the particles;
- further cause display of the second interface by at least:
- causing display of the portion of particles according to a first graphical scheme;
- and
- causing display of another portion of the particles according to a second graphical scheme, wherein the first graphical scheme is perceivably different from the second graphical scheme;
- receive, from an input device, a selection control signal indicating a second selection event that will be received;
- receive, from the input device, the second selection event identifying a second portion of the particles;
- add the second portion of the particles to the portion of the particles;
- and
- update at least one of the second interface or the collection interface to identify the second portion of the particles.
A computer-implemented method for coordinated graphics control, the method comprising:
- under control of one or more processing devices,
- receiving an identifier for a collection vessel for receiving particles of a sample;
- causing display of a collection interface, wherein the collection interface includes a plurality of interactive elements, each interactive element corresponding to a collection location of the collection vessel;
- receiving a message from an input device, the message including a selection event, the selection event identifying an interactive element included in the plurality of interactive elements;
- and
- causing display of a second interface for presenting a measurement for a particle of the sample, the measurement corresponding to a portion of the particles sorted into a collection location corresponding to the interactive element selected, wherein the portion of the particles includes the particle, wherein causing display of the second interface comprises:
- causing display of the portion of particles according to a first graphical scheme;
- and
- causing display of another portion of the particles according to a second graphical scheme, wherein the first graphical scheme is perceivably different from the second graphical scheme;
- receiving, from an input device, a selection control signal indicating a second selection event will be transmitted;
- receiving, from the input device, the second selection event identifying a second portion of the particles;
- adding the second portion of the particles to the portion of the particles;
- and
- updating at least one of the second interface or the collection interface to identify the second portion of the particles.
