You can use histograms to view and interpret the results of the most recent Monte Carlo randomizations. After you initiate a new analysis, ClusterSeer will not save histograms from previous analyses, though you can always recreate them.
Once you have performed an analysis that includes Monte Carlo simulations, you may view the histogram by choosing "MC Distribution" from the "View" menu. Once you are viewing it, you may format and edit axis labels, axis scaling, and bars. You can also export histograms of Monte Carlo distributions from ClusterSeer.
You can format and edit axis labels by double-clicking on the axis. This will call up a window where you can rename the axis and specify a new font for the label.
You can format the histogram by right clicking it and choosing "Change Formatting." This brings up the formatting window that allows you to change the attributes of the axes and the bars on separate tabs.
To change the scaling on the axes, set the minimum and maximum value shown for the X and the Y axes. You may also specify the number of tick marks for each axis, or you may wish to let ClusterSeer choose the tick marks automatically. To change the thickness of the axes, choose a line thickness from the pull-down box next to "Line Thickness:".
You may also change the color of the bars. Up to three colors of bars may be displayed on one histogram and these can be changed separately (change primary color, secondary color, or tertiary color). You may also change the number of bins into which ClusterSeer divides the data.
You may export histograms to a Bitmap format. To export, go to "File," and then "export." You can change the name of the file. Once you have it in Bitmap form, (.bmp), save it to any word processing or slide-making program that accepts bitmap, or save it to any image processing program that can change a file format to something that can be seen on the web (.jpeg or .gif).
