TOPCAT: Control Window - The right hand panel describes the characteristics of the current table.- The buttons along the top allow launching of various other windows. Francisco Jiménez Esteban – SVO – fran@laeff.inta.es Granada 27-28 de octubre de 2009
TOPCAT: Load Windows Load Data:- You can load your local tables. Francisco Jiménez Esteban – SVO – fran@laeff.inta.es Granada 27-28 de octubre de 2009
TOPCAT: Load Windows Cone Search:- Service available on the web.- The list is obtained from a VO registry. Francisco Jiménez Esteban – SVO – fran@laeff.inta.es Granada 27-28 de octubre de 2009
TOPCAT: Table Windows Data:- Scroll around.- Sort rows.- Define subsets. Francisco Jiménez Esteban – SVO – fran@laeff.inta.es Granada 27-28 de octubre de 2009
TOPCAT: Table Windows Columns:- Information about each column.- Columns can be hidden/revealed, and new ones added. Francisco Jiménez Esteban – SVO – fran@laeff.inta.es Granada 27-28 de octubre de 2009
TOPCAT: Table Windows Subsets:- See all the row subsets defined, and to define more.- Can be defined using algebraic expression, or graphically. Francisco Jiménez Esteban – SVO – fran@laeff.inta.es Granada 27-28 de octubre de 2009
TOPCAT: Table Windows Statistics:- Calculate statistics for all or a selection of rows. Francisco Jiménez Esteban – SVO – fran@laeff.inta.es Granada 27-28 de octubre de 2009
TOPCAT: Plot Windows • Set axis labels and ranges- Different colors or symbols for different sets of data. - Error bars- Configurable plot markers- Zoom in or out.- Select a Subset. 1D histograms:- Set bin width and offset Francisco Jiménez Esteban – SVO – fran@laeff.inta.es Granada 27-28 de octubre de 2009
TOPCAT: Plot Windows 2D:- Plot pairs of columns. Francisco Jiménez Esteban – SVO – fran@laeff.inta.es Granada 27-28 de octubre de 2009
TOPCAT: Plot Windows 3D:- Plots on Cartesian axes.- Rotate the axes by dragging the mouse. Francisco Jiménez Esteban – SVO – fran@laeff.inta.es Granada 27-28 de octubre de 2009
TOPCAT: Plot Windows Spherical Polar:- Plots 3D plots on spherical polar axes. - Plot points only on the surface of the sphere or on the interior. - Rotate the axes by dragging the mouse. Francisco Jiménez Esteban – SVO – fran@laeff.inta.es Granada 27-28 de octubre de 2009
TOPCAT: Plot Windows Stacked Line:- Plots one or more X-Y line plots using the same X axis but different Y axes. - This can be particularly useful for visualizing time-series data. Francisco Jiménez Esteban – SVO – fran@laeff.inta.es Granada 27-28 de octubre de 2009
TOPCAT: Plot Windows Density Maps:- The intensity of color at each pixel reflects the number of points that fall within its bounds. - Pixel size can be changed, cut levels can be altered.- This is very useful for analysis and visualization of extremely crowded plots.
