| This section discusses different techniques
you can use to analyze data more efficiently with FlowJo.
FlowJo gives you the most flexibility possible with
exported graphics. You can easily ungroup any graphic, and
change the font attributes, line styles, etc., to make any graph
look exactly the way you want! The first
page in this section gives you some additional
hints on exporting graphs.
The greatest strength of FlowJo is its ability to
represent batch analysis in a simple
and flexible structure. Don't expect to find a macro language
or scripting extensions. Our approach lies in the grouping
structure, within the workspaces. Create your layout, and with a
single button, produce a stack. The stack can be shown as
a new layout, a tiles picture or a movie. There's even a section
about how to cancel batch jobs once
they've been started
Drag-and-Drop
is an important skill to learn if you are going to be a fluent user
of this program. This section talks about the semantics of what
it means to drop gates or statistics onto populations. A few
modifier keys can save you all sorts of time.
Indeed, modifier keys, especially the option
key are used heavily in FlowJo. Use option
dragging to duplicate graphs in the layouts, or option-close to
close all your windows at once. Try depressing the option
key as you browse through menu items; you will find that many of
the menus change to be a different command, giving you quick access
to even more powerful features.
