Abstract
Thumbnail images indicating images of a display layouts prepared in advance or created by the user are stored together with display layout data, and the thumbnail images are displayed as a list on a layout thumbnail bar in an analysis result display window on the display screen. The analyzer looks at the images so as to grasp the content of each display layout and then selects an appropriate thumbnail image. As a result, a screen in which chromatograms, mass spectrums, or the like are assigned to each of the regions in the graph display region is created in accordance with the selected display layout and displayed on a monitor screen.
Claims20
An analytical data display processing device for creating graphs including chromatograms or spectrums based on analytical data collected by sample analysis and performing processing to display one or a plurality of graphs by assigning the graphs to each of a plurality of display regions set within a display screen, the device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable medium storing software instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- a) store, in a display layout information storage, a plurality of display layouts, each display layout defined at least by settings of a plurality of display regions within the display screen, assignment of types of graphs displayed in each of the display regions, and a display format of the graphs assigned to each of the display regions, wherein the types of graphs include chromatograms or spectrums;
- b) provide a list display of thumbnail images corresponding to the plurality of display layouts in a display region differing from the display regions where the graphs are assigned within the display screen, wherein each thumbnail image comprises an image of a state in which graphs are displayed in accordance with a corresponding display layout;
- c) allow an analyzer to select and indicate one of the displayed thumbnail images;
- and
- d) when one thumbnail image is selected and indicated, construct, display, and output a display screen on which the graphs created based on designated analytical data are arranged in accordance with a display layout corresponding to the selected and indicated thumbnail image.

- c) allowing an analyzer to select and indicate one of the displayed thumbnail images;
- and
- d) when one thumbnail image is selected and indicated, constructing, displaying, and outputting a display screen on which the graphs created based on designated analytical data are arranged in accordance with a display layout corresponding to the selected and indicated thumbnail image.
