Program

PeakSearch is now part of Fable. See the Help under Fable for more information on launching and using Fable. It is especially useful to read the section entitled Workbench. Below are some of the general features especially used by PeakSearch.

Console

The Console at the bottom of the perspective, displays information messages, error messages, and program output. The Console has a toolbar to:

The Console uses different colors for output, input, error, and informational text.

Console

Tooltips

A tooltip is a flag appearing when the mouse is over a GUI control. The text displayed helps the user in understanding fields and required values.

Plots

PeakSearch plots use JLChart.

Tables

Virtual

Most of the tables are virtual, so that only the visible part of the table is populated. This is so the time for loading extensive content (e.g. from a large experiment with many files) is minimized.

Sort

All PeakSearch tables can be sorted by column. Click on a header column, and the table sorts.

Table with Two Panes

Tables with two panes: The user selects an item in the left pane and the right pane is then populated with its properties.
For example, for Image Navigator View, if the user selects a directory in the left pane, all of its files are displayed in the right pane.

Menu

Context Menus are available in the table. Select an item and right click to open a context menu.
