dataset_selection

Each analysis tab (inspection, principal component analysis etc.) allows the user to freely switch between available verified datasets.

Download / copy datasets

download_copy

The majority of visible graphics-underlying tables can be downloaded and also directly copied to the clipboard for easy transfer to external software like Microsoft Excel. Most graphics have a Show dataframe button that toggles the underlying table of the shown graphic.

Handling and saving figures

All graphics in mvpaShiny are generated by plotly an open-source graphics package (link).

figure_options

Each graphic has mouse-over menu that appears when the mouse cursor is hovered over the graphic (top right corner). Description of the individual symbols:

  • The camera symbol allows to save the shown graphic as .png
  • The magnifying glass symbol allows zooming
  • The pan symbol allows to move the shown graphic within the boundaries
  • The autoscale symbol scales the shown graphic and fits its content appropiately
  • The reset axes symbol (little house) resets the graphic to its original state
  • The show closest data on hover symbol (single arrow) highlights the selected datapoint or bar
  • The compare data on hover symbol (two arrows) highlights all values within one stacked bar plot

In addition, all graphics come with a change font size slider bar and an option to change the size of points in point plots.
