The Allen Brain Cell Atlas (ABC Atlas) has been updated with new features and improvements!
Zoom & Pan View Syncing
Comparing features across views is now even easier. Zoom & Pan Syncing creates spatial sync groups between views of the same data set allowing you to control two or more views at once. When syncing is enabled, as you zoom in or move the “camera” in one view, synced views will follow, maintaining the same position. Syncing does not affect selected filters or colors so that you can compare different features in each view.
-
To initiate Zoom and Pan Syncing click the link icon in the top right of the selected view. Note: If syncing is enabled in only one view, this will not change the behavior of the selected view.
. -
Click the link icon in a second view of the same data to link the two views. Now any change made to the zoom or pan state in one view will also be reflected in the other view. Enabling syncing for additional views of the same data will add them to the original sync group.
Note: Only one sync group per data set is supported. -
Click the link icon again to remove a view from the sync group and allow the camera for that view to be controlled independently.
.
Tip: Enable syncing and duplicate a view to automatically sync the new view to the original
.
Show/Hide Feature Filters
On the Cell Properties tab, users can now hide feature filters in the list. This is especially useful when a data set contains a large number of features.
- From Cell Properties, click the SHOW/HIDE link to enter edit mode.
. - Click the eye icon
next to a feature you wish to hide to toggle it to hidden. Click the eye icon
again to unhide.
. - Click BACK to save your changes and return to Filter mode.
