Popup menu in the Project Tree

The popup menu in the Project Tree can be used to control datasets or analyses and to obtain information about them. The menu has two to four items, depending on the entry in the Project Tree for which it is invoked.

Display Graphs

Selecting Display Graphs produces the graphic displays of the respective item in the Project Tree. For analyses, this is the same as output originally produced when the analysis was set up originally. For datasets that contain shape coordinates (as opposed to data such as various scores produced by analyses), the resulting graphics show the shapes of individual coordinates in comparison to the mean shape. For data sets with shape differences, those differences are shown directly (using the mean shape associated with the data set).

Display Results

The menu item Display Results produces the text output in the Results window. Not all items in the Project Tree have written output, and therefore this menu item is not available for all of them.

Rename

The menu item Rename is available for all items in the Project Tree. It invokes the following dialog box:

The text field in this box can be used to provide a new name for the item from which the popup menu was invoked. The current name for that item is indicated in the dialog box ("jaws" in this example). Click OK to confirm the name change or Cancel to stop.

Remove Item

Finally, Remove Item can be used to delete an item from the Project Tree. Note that this will also remove all items that depend on the selected one. Removing items cannot be undone, so some caution is advisable.

After selecting Remove Item from the popup menu, a dialog box like the followig will appear:

In this example, the popup menu was invoked for the dataset named "Hyomandibulare". In the Project Tree, all the items that depend on this dataset are now highlighted (light blue background). Note that not only the covariance matrix and PCA that are directly attachec to "Hyomandibulare" are affected, but also a PLS analysis named "PLS Kerato -- Hyomand" that appears in a different branch of the tree.

If the user clicks on the Yes button in the dialog box, all of these items are removed from the tree.
