Hold down MENU (the right mouse button) within a spectral display window to display this menu.
 |
- Attributes
This command will open up the spectral attributes window. If the window is already open it will set it to display the attributes for the active spectral window.
- View
The commands in this menu allow the user to change the region of the spectrum that is displayed in this window.
- Draw
Draw the current view.
- Expand
This command changes the plot limits to include the region bounded by the two crosshairs and redraws the spectrum.
- Previous
This command changes the plot limits to that which was active prior to the last expansion and redraws the spectrum. The previous 8 views are saved so the user can return to them with this command.
- Full
This command changes the plot limits to that of full spectral width for each of the two displayed dimensions and redraws the spectrum.
- Center
Center the current view on the crosshair cursor (number 1).
- Zoom In
Zoom the display into a region around the center of the currently displayed region. A smaller portion of the spectrum will be displayed, and the displayed peaks will look larger. The positions of the crosshair lines have no effect on this operation.
- Zoom Out
Zoom the display out from the center of the currently displayed region. A larger portion of the spectrum will be displayed, and the displayed peaks will look smaller. The positions of the crosshair lines have no effect on this operation.
- Edit
This menu provides commands to copy display attributes from one window to another.
- Copy
This command saves the display attributes of the current window into the copy buffer.
- Paste
This command sets the dataset and plot limits of the current window to those in the copy buffer, and redraws the current window.
- Paste Limits
This command sets the plot limits of the current window to those in the copy buffer, and redraws the current window.
- Copy Image
This command copies an image of the currently displayed window to the computers clipboard. From there it can be pasted into other applications that support graphical images.
- Cursor
This menu can be used to switch between different cursor modes. The use of the crosshair cursors is described in the section on Cursors. The use of the PeakAdjust, PeakAdd and PeakDelete modes is described in the section on Interactive Peak Editing.
- Crosshairs-1B
Crosshair cursors are drawn as the mouse is dragged. This mode is appropriate for one-button mice, but will also work with the left mouse button of three-button mice. The crosshair that is moved is deteremined by which crosshair is closer to the mouse pointer.
- Crosshairs-3B
Crosshair cursors are drawn as the mouse is dragged. This mode is appropriate for three-button mice. The left mouse button controls crosshair 1 (usually black), the middle mouse button controls crosshair 2 (usually red), and the right mouse button is used to display the pop-up menu.
- Select
The cursor, which will look like an arrow pointer, can be used to select peaks. Click once on a peak to select it. Any previously selected peaks will be deselected. Clicking with the Shift key held down will append peaks to the list of selected peaks. Selected peaks will be displayed with their foot print in a transparent yellow color.
If the cursor is clicked and dragged a selection box will be dragged out. When the cursor is released any peaks in the box will be selected.
Selected peaks can be moved by pressing the left mouse button with the cursor near the center of a peak and dragging them to a new position.
A selected peak can be resized by pressing the left mouse button with the cursor near the edge of the peak and dragging the footprint to a new size.
- PeakAdd
The cursor, which will look like a peak shape, can be used to interactively add peaks at the cursor position.
- PeakDelete
The cursor, which will look like a skull and crossbones, can be used to interactively delete peaks at the cursor position.
- Peaks
This menu can be used to switch between different cursor modes. The use of the crosshair cursors is described in the section on Cursors. The use of the PeakAdjust, PeakAdd and PeakDelete modes is described in the section on Interactive Peak Editing.
- Pick
Pick peaks in the crosshair region. If no crosshairs are displayed pick the entire region that is displayed. If no peaks are currently displayed then the list name will be that of the displayed dataset. If peaks are currently displayed then the newly picked peaks either replace them (if there are any current peaks within the crosshair region), or append to them (if there are no peaks currently displayed within the crosshair region). If multiple datasets are displayed then the peak picking process will be repeated for each dataset.
- Link
Create links between the selected peaks (that is connect them to a common resonance). Links are made along only one dimension. The link dimension is the one with the smallest chemical shift range among the selected peak. For example, if the peaks are from a 2D HSQC spectrum displayed with H on the x axis, and N on the y axis, and the selected peaks are in a vertical column then the peaks will be linked by along their N dimension.
- UnLink
Remove links between the selected peaks (selected peaks will now be connected to distinct resonances).
- Delete Selected Peaks
Any peaks selected will be marked for deletion. They will no longer be displayed, but will not be permanently gone until the peak list is compressed.
- Reference
This menu can be used to switch between different cursor modes. The use of the crosshair cursors is described in the section on Cursors. The use of the PeakAdjust, PeakAdd and PeakDelete modes is described in the section on Interactive Peak Editing.

- Save Dataset Pars
Remove links between the selected peaks (selected peaks will now be connected to distinct resonances).
- Slices
This menu can be used to display 1D slices across 2D (or higher dimensional) spectra. The vector extracted from the displayed dataset, to generate the slice, will be chosen based on the position of crosshair number one.

- Extract
Use this menu to copy the slice defined by crosshair 1 through the selected dimension to the vecGraph window, and display it. Selecting from the "Replace" sub-menu will extract the vector and replace any vectors currently displayed in the vecGraph window. Selecting from the "Add" sub-menu will extract the vector and add it to any vectors currently displayed in the vecGraph window.
- X
Extract the slice parallel to the x-axis defined by crosshair 1.
- Y
Extract the slice parallel to the y-axis defined by crosshair 1.
- Z
Extract the slice parallel to the z-axis defined by crosshair 1.
- A
Extract the slice parallel to the a-axis (z2-axis) defined by crosshair 1.
