The graph window is the window in which
FlowJo displays graphical data: contour plots, histograms, dot plots,
and others. From this window, you can
draw gates to subset the data and select a variety of different representations
of the data. To create this window, double-click
on any population node within the sample list in the workspace.
The graph window provides much information about the current subpopulation that it displays: cell counts and frequencies (within the sample), any statistics you have requested, and any gates that were computed on the current population. There are controls to navigate the gating tree, so you can automatically go to the graph display that you used to create this subpopulation; you can also automatically display any gate that is created within this subpopulation. You can select the default graph type for new samples through the preferences dialog. You can change any aspect of the graph by selecting the appropriate control on the graph window itself. All graph windows have controls to switch between the next or previous sample in the workspace window list. When you click on one of these controls, the exact same graph for the next sample which has the same subset is shown (this may mean that intervening samples, which don't have the same gates, are skipped). These controls let you quickly cycle between different samples to compare the graphs. If you right click this control, then all open graph windows are cycled to the next (or previous) sample. If different graph windows are pointing to different samples, then FlowJo will cycle forward the primary graph window until both graph windows are from the same sample. Once they are on the same sample, both graph windows will cycle forward in synch. You can also activate the next/previous command from the "Go" menu. Select a specific topic for more information: The following types of graphs can be generated in the graph window:
