Data panel

The Data panel allows you to import data into VisBio, so that you can begin visualization and analysis. It also allows you to construct and manage derivative data objects (data computed from your source datasets). Lastly, it displays technical details about data objects, and provides export capabilities, including saving to disk and uploading to an OME database.

The tree in the upper left portion of the panel shows all data objects currently available. Derivative data objects are shown as children of the data from which they were derived.

The lower portion of the panel shows a summary of the data object, including a list of its dimensional axes, pixel resolution and total size.

Buttons

The upper right portion of the panel contains several buttons. The "Add >" button creates a new data object (derived from files on disk, an OME database, or another data object). See the Importing a dataset from disk, Adding a data object and Data transforms topics for more information.

The "Display >" button visualizes the selected data object. See the Displaying a data object topic for more information.

The "Edit" button shows controls for manipulating the parameters of the selected data object. For datasets, it displays metadata associated within each file on disk. The button is grayed out when no controls or information are available.

The "Export >" button saves the selected data object to files on disk, or uploads them to an OME database. See the Exporting data to disk and Uploading to an OME database topics for more information.

The "Remove" button deletes the selected data object. (If the data object was created from files on disk or downloaded from an OME database, it does not delete the files or database entry, only VisBio's internal representation.)
