| The Layout Editor is an incredibly powerful
tool in the creation of both analysis and publication graphics.
It is designed to create "layouts" which can contain one
or more graphical objects, which include rectangles, lines, text and
graphs. It works like a page layout program, but the graphs
are live and will recalculate with any change in the data or gating.
The page describing the Layout Editor controls
explains the tool palette, commands and options associated with the
editor. The page describing layout elements
also contains useful information about the myriad of features within
FlowJo's presentation capabilities. Using the Layout Editor, you can generate graphical reports that can do any of the following:
Layouts are "live", in that the graphic window is updated whenever any of the gates or statistics change (because you moved a gate, or change an analysis, etc.). You never have to worry about whether to update the reports or not; FlowJo will do so automatically! The Layout Editor knows how to iterate, that is, to create the same layout for many different samples. It can iterate over every sample in a group, or via "Panels" where graphs from different samples are combined in a single layout. The best explanation is to walk through a simple example of using a layout to check the applicability of a gate across a group of samples. A more involved example is taken from the FlowJo tutorial.
