Auto-positioning
Auto-position
Enable this option when you want the region to automatically adjust its position relative to the data in the histogram. The region will center itself on the X median or mode value, depending on the selection in the Auto-position method option below. When you move a region with the auto-position property enabled, you offset its auto-position location relative to the data. When the data changes in the histogram containing the region, the region will adjust its position relative to the new data.
The auto-position property will be disabled in a few circumstances where it is invalid. When a region is used in a self-gate on the histogram in which it resides, the property is disabled. Similarly, if a region is a dependent linked region, the property is disabled.
Auto-position method
This option determines what statistic is used when the auto-positioning is enabled for a region. The center of the region is positioned on the specified value. Choose Center on histogram median if you want to track the central tendency of the data or Center on histogram mode to track the location of highest frequency events. Choose Include lower percent to position the region to include events on the low intensity end of the histogram, or Include upper percent to include the high intensity events. Choose Center on region median or Center on region mode to track the central tendency of the data within the region, not the entire histogram.
X Percent
If Auto-Position is enabled and the method is Include lower percent, enter the percentile value where the right leg of the region should be positioned. The left leg will be set at the origin.
If Auto-Position is enabled and the method is Include upper percent, enter the percentile value where the left leg of the region should be positioned. The right leg will be set at the upper boundary.
