Show Pattern on the IMAGE menu displays the area of the well used for data
collection (i.e., the extraction area). This too is specified in the Physical Dimensions
dialog box (see below, and page 57).
Show Translucent Pattern toggles the pattern display between transparent and
opaque.
Well and Pattern Color allows you to change the color used to display wells and
patterns.
Palette allows you to change the color of the entire image.
Formatting the Image
The Raw Image Report has a number of special formatting features.
From the FORMAT menu, you can change the dimensions of your custom template.
Select a different template size by selecting Plate Size... or specify different physical
dimensions for your template by selecting Physical Dimensions.... See page 57 for
details on these features.
Many of these formatting settings affect what part of the image your data is collected
from, and thus affect the data itself. For example, if you change the extraction area in
the Physical Dimensions dialog box, this will change the area of the well that is used
for data collection, which will change the data itself.
Because formatting changes can affect your data, multi-level undo and redo are
supported for the image formatting commands. Select Undo Plate Format from the
EDIT menu to undo each formatting change, or Redo Plate Format to redo a
formatting change.
