Ribbons
Data Type
Option |
Description |
Model +/- SD |
The parameter ribbon is based on the model's Y-axis position at each state in the progression. This value approximately matches the Control Point locations for the Parameter Profile of each parameter, with interpolation between control points. The width of the ribbon is controlled by the Number of SDs property. |
Mean +/- SD |
The parameter ribbon is based on the mean intensity of the data at each state in the progression. The width of the ribbon is controlled by the Number of SDs property. |
Modeled Measurements Only
Enable this option to show only the modeled measurements - those with expression profiles - in the overlay plot.
Transparency
Enter a value between 0.0 and 100.0 to control the transparency of the parameter profile ribbons. Higher values make the ribbons more transparent.

Seconds
This option controls the number of seconds each parameter profile ribbon is displayed when animation is enabled in the overlay plot. Animation is turned on and off using tools in the Overlay Graphics toolbar.
One at a Time
With this option enabled, each parameter ribbon is displayed by itself during animation. If this option is unchecked, each ribbon remains on the plot until all ribbons have been drawn. Then the plot is cleared and drawing starts again.
