4.2 File

File

New Folder:

make a new empty folder with a user-defined folder name.

New Text File:

make a new empty *.txt file with a user-defined file name.

Shortcut keys [Mac]: ⌘ + N; [Windows]: Ctrl + N

Save *.AC.fig file:

Save the current figure as an *.ac.fig file. This file enable users continue a suspended project.

For example, after running the eCOCO (evolutionary correlation coefficient), users may want to plot the eCOCO results anytime. One can save the current figure as an *.AC.fig file, then double click this *.AC.fig file and show β€œECOCO plot” anytime.

Plot Pro

Plot Standardized:

A quick plot of the standardized data file.

Useful if one wants to compare 2 or more series.

Plot Standardized +2:

A quick plot of the standardized data file.

Useful if one wants to compare 2 or more series.

Plot Swap Axis:

A quick plot, swap axis.

Stairs:

Stairs plot.

Sampling Rate:

A quick plot showing the distribution of the 1st column (time/depth) of the selected data file.

Data Distribution:

A quick plot showing the distribution of the 2nd column (data) of the selected data file.

ECOCO Plot:

Plot eCOCO results from a *.AC.fig, or after running the eCOCO (Timeseries-eCOCO).
