The Spectrum Perspective
The Spectrum Perspective is an arrangement of spectrum related views for giving
the user the possibilty to visualize spectrum data in an apropriate way.It is mainly formed by
four different views and the regarding methods/actions. These are:
-
The Spectrum Chart views, which are using the JFreeChart package for the
visualisation of spectral information, either peak or continuous data, within the
Spectrum Perspective of Bioclipse. It is possible to stepless zoom in and out the
spectrum as well as setting some displaying properties via a context menu provided
by JFreeChart.
-
The Metadata view is displaying the with the spectrum stored metadata in an
editable manner.
-
The Peak Table view is showing existing peaks in an editable peak table and gives
the user the possibility to add, delete and edit spectrum peaks.
The bc_spectrum plug-in is capable of importing and exporting CML and jcamp-dx
spectrum files, whereas internally all spectrum data is stored and passed around as
CML Java objects. If just continuous data is on-hand for a spectrum a peak picking
action is available extracting the peaks from that data.
