Basic Controls

The controls described here are available on the map layout page so if you are on the home page, get to the map page with a click on a map thumbnail.

Basic TumorMap controls include the ability to navigate the map, color the map and view a node’s details.

Color the Map by Attribute

Nodes in the map are colored by attribute values. This allows you to visually explore the attributes and their relationships to the layout and to each other.

To select an attribute for coloring the map, click on Select Attributes and type in a few letters within the attribute name. If it exists, it will be displayed along with other attributes matching the string. Click on the attribute to color the map with those values. The attribute will appear in the Short List at the upper right of the map . The Select Attributes drop down contains all the attributes available for the map, while the Short List contains only those attributes that have already been selected.

The statistics display is explained at Attribute Information, with a technical discussion at Statistics and Sorting Tool.

To Select attributes for display click on the primary or secondary in the Short List entry. No more than two attributes may be selected to color the nodes at a time.

Clicking on primary-hot or secondary-hot will turn that attribute display off.

More information may be found at Short List.
