Advanced graph manipulations

Introduction

IGB allows you to manipulate graph tracks in multiple ways, both by transforming an individual track or by combining two graph tracks in a mathematical way. Controls for transforming and combining graphs can be found in the Advanced section of the Graph Adjuster tab.

 

Transforming

...

By default, all graphs display in linear scale.   If you wish to scale the data in a non-linear way:, but IGB allows you the option to transform a graph into other scales.  Select the graph(s)

and open the Graph Adjuster tab.

...

Select the type of transformation you would like to perform from the pull-down menu labeled

...

Transform, then click GO. The picture below includes all of the options available (but also includes Natural Log).

IGB duplicates your graph in a new track and applies the selected scale to the new graph.  Your ; your original graph is not deleted.  Note that one of the choices of scale is Copy, which makes a copy of the graph without re-scaling itany transformation.  That can be useful if you want to explore the effects of showing one graph in two graph styles at the same time.

Duplicating graphs

You may want to duplicate a graph to experiment with different graph adjustments without losing adjustments that you have already made.
