Manual Axis Scaling

[alex.alder]

Really loving FlowCSV Viewer but one thing I could do with to be able to make "side-by-side" comparisons of various data is a means to manual scale axes, particularly vertical ones so all plots are on the same reference basis. That way it's very easy to make quick visual comparisons.

Is this feature there but I've missed it or can it be added at the next revision please?

Hi Alex, glad you like it! I'm not entirely sure what you mean by side-by-side comparison and and manual axis scaling. Do you have multiple variables with different scale in the same file that you want to compare, or do you want to compare data from different files? Do you want to compare them in the same group (i.e. on top of each other in the same plot), or do you want them arranged in another way?

You can easily scale a variable in Flow by applying a formula, for example

Code: Select all

x_scaled = 10 * x

, and then use the scaled variable and untick the original one.

Best regards,

I think I came with the same request, I'm not looking to scale the data just manually define the range of the Y-Axis for plotting. Right now, I'm only able to use the zoom in/out to get the range. If this were quickly referenced, every time one processes a dataset it is displayed on the same.

Oh I see, so you mean somewhere to simply type in the min and max values of the range? Yes that would make sense, I'm noting it down. Maybe actually also save the scaling factors between sessions, just like colors etc are also saved.

Right now you can use the Zoom tool (the magnifying glass in the left part of the toolbar) and drag along the vertical axis to set the scaling range, but I guess it's a bit finicky and it's difficult to be precise, and also it's impossible to zoom out beyond the min and max values of the variables. So your suggestion will be a good complement. Thanks!

Best regards,
Gustaf

That's it! An option to save presets would be a great feature.
