Evaluating Graphs with the Measurement Inspector

You can plot the different statistical properties available for graphs, as well as select color ramps, and make range selections in the Measurement Inspector. To open the Measurement Inspector panel shown below, right-click a graph that contains scalar information and then choose Measurement Inspector in the pop-up menu.

Measurement Inspector properties

 

Description

Object

Lets you select the graph, or other object, that you want to adjust in the current 3D view.

Scalar type

Lets you select the scalar type that you want to adjust, as follows:

Edge Scalar Values… Lets you choose a mapping type and measurement for the edges of the selected graph.

Vertex Scalar Values… Lets you choose a mapping type and measurement for the vertices of the selected graph.

Mapping type

Lets you select a mapping type — Radius or LUT — for the selected scalar type, as follows:

Measurement

Lets you choose the measurement that you want to apply to the selected scalar type and mapping type.

Measurement range

Indicates the minimum and maximum values of the selected measurement.

If required, you can select the range of data that will be plotted on the histogram as follows:

  • Enter the required values in the Min and Max edit boxes.
  • Click the Reset button to reset the measurement data range to the original values.
  • Click the Copy button to apply the data range of another measurement to the current measurement, either from the current graph, or from another graph or multi-ROI.

Radius/LUT

Lets you adjust the radius of edges or vertices of the current measurement when the selected mapping type is Radius or to choose a LUT when the selected mapping type is LUT.

You can adjust the radius of edges and vertices as follows:

  • Drag the Radius slider to adjust the radius of the current measurement, as shown below.

You can select a Look-Up Table (LUT) function, and edit an applied LUT, as follows:

  • To apply a LUT to the current radius measurement, select the required LUT in the drop-down menu.

  • Click the Edit button to edit the applied LUT in the LUT Editor (see Using the LUT Editor).

Histogram

Shows how values are distributed for the selected measurement and lets you adjust the threshold values for the In and Out window rendering options. You can plot the Y axis in log scale, if required.

  • Drag the Range sliders to change the threshold values.

  • Drag the area between the sliders to change the In window center value.

Selected range

The two numbers in this box are the minimum and maximum selected threshold values. These two values define the In window range.

  • Enter the required values in the Min and Max edit boxes.

Hide out of range measurement

If selected, edges or vertices whose value falls outside of the In window rendering range will be hidden. If not selected, edges or vertices whose value falls outside of the selected range will appear in the color corresponding to the minimum or maximum value.
