# Data Viewer Data viewer is a general purpose data visualization tool, it convey complicated information in a powerful but intuitive way to help you explore and explain the data. ### Terminology **Data Viewer** - a collection of sheets **Sheet** - one or more linked plots and controls **Plot** - a visualization **Droppable -** data that can be dragged and dropped **Target** - location to drop a droppable **Node** - data results from the analysis pipeline ### Saving data * To save an individual image within the Data Viewer to your machine, click **Plot** then **Export image** & select the format, size, and resolution then click **Save**. Use the plot-specific tools for this.

Export the individual plot that has been selected to your machine

* All visualizations within a sheet in the Data Viewer can be exported as one image (e.g. use one image with all plots for a poster). Use the **Export** drop-down at the top of the data-viewer for this and select **Export image**.

Export all visualizations present in the Data viewer session as one image

### Navigation #### General controls and Adding plots * **Undo** * Recover backward actions * **Redo** * Recover forward actions * **Export** * **Export image** - download one visualization of all plots in a view to your computer * **Capture video** - capture a video with various formats * **Setup** * **New plot** - choose a plot type to add to the sheet, then select data from the analysis pipeline * **Get data** - select data from the analysis pipeline, then choose the plot type * **Save** * **Save** - overwrite a saved session * **Save as** - save a new session using a new name

#### Plot controls Plot controls are context-sensitive and available options will change according to the plot type selected. * **Data** * Controls to use to export plot level data & get data to modify the plot * **Selection** * Controls to make and modify selections, classify, and filter * Includes pointer, ruler, paint brush, eraser, rectangle, ellipse, lasso and invert selection tools * **Configure** * Controls to add content and configure plots to modify the plot as needed * Includes axes, style, grouping, description and control tools * **Plot** * Additional plot controls including duplicate, export, and reset legend position * Also allows you to reset view, toggle ledgent, toggle axis auto-scale, view full screen and remove

The Recently used list can be helpful for this if you have already recently used a gene. * Data from another plot on the sheet (e.g., an axis title from a violin plot) to a plot or plot control * Data from **Selection > Select & Filter > Criteria** * Drop targets will change dependent on the action taken. * Targets can be options within plot controls (e.g. **Selection > Select & Filter > Criteria** to generate selections or **Configure > Axes**). * **Setup > New plot** or **Setup > Get data** targets include: Top, Right, Bottom, Left providing a location to add a new plot.

* Plot targets to drop data include: Y axis, Z axis, X axis, Color, Shape, Size, Label, Split, Connect, Highlight, Annotation.
