Viewing Graphical Results:

There are several ways to graphically view the results generated by ORIOGEN. The simplest way is to click "Yes" when the program prompts if you want to view the results immediately after they are calculated. However, even if you click "No" you can still view the results at any time by selecting the File - View Results menu option. When you do this, the program will display the results stored in the output file that is currently selected.

If you wish to view results from data that was generated prior to the current session, you use the File - Open menu option on this screen. The program will prompt you for the results file to view.

Viewing Gene Information:

When viewing the graphical data, you can click on any of the lines to get a popup window that shows the Gene ID and possibly the description (if it was provided as Column #2 in the input file).

Switching Between Raw Means and Fitted Means:

When you initially view the data in the graph window, the fitted mean values are shown (to confirm this, see the title bar at the top of the graph window). To switch between viewing the fitted means and the raw means, simply click the View menu and select the appropriate menu item.

Viewing the Results File in an External Program:

To view the results file in an external program, click on the View menu and select the Summary Statistics option. ORIOGEN will open the file using the default assignment for the operating system. So, for example, if the file extension is ".txt", the operating system will use its default text viewer to open the file. If the file extension is ".xlt" the file will most likely be opened by a spreadsheet program.

Note: This option is only available on the Windows platform. However, all users can view this file by opening the output file designated in the "Output File Name" field on the ORIOGEN Initial Inputs screen.

Saving the Graphical Image:

To save the image shown in the graph window to a file, click on the File menu and select the Save Image to File option. The program will prompt you for a file name. The file will be saved in JPG format.
