a brief overview of the available tabs and their function:
### Viewer
This is the main view of the application. In this window you can see the trajectory
that is currently loaded. Via this view, the camera of the application can be controlled.
This includes rotations, zooming, moving the camera and so on.
<br>
This view will be grayed out, when no trajectory has been loaded and only become
available, once a trajectory has been selected and loaded.
### PBC
This view contains the settings for
`PBC-Trajectories`
alongside some statistics
obtained from the config loaded into the application.
<br>
The view contains multiple controls that influence the visualisation of the
trajectory:
<br><br>
**PBC-Mode and Container**
<br>
These settings control whether the loaded trajectory will be displayed in PBC-mode
and whether the PBC-container will be displayed in the main view. The additional
`Color`
property directly controls the color of the container, if it is displayed in
the view.
<br><br>
**Microscope Slide**
<br>
The
`Microscope Slide`
controls influence whether a slide will be displayed
in the main viewer window. Similarly to the PBC container, enabling the
`Box`
of the slide, will show a visualisation of the box in the main view. That view's
color can also be changed. With the
`Size`
and
`Index`
controls, the slide
can be increased in size and moved through the container, changing what is being
included and displayed.
### Fiber Information
This view contains information about the fiber that has been loaded into the application.
### Cohesin / CTCF
This view contains information about hte
`Cohesin`
properties of the loaded fiber.
### View Settings
This tab describes certain settings that directly influence the visualisation
of the fiber on display. It is split into two distinct control groups:
<br><br>
**Colors**
<br>
This control directly influences the color of fiber-elements. For example, the
color for the entirety of the nucleosomes can be set.
<br><br>
**Visualization**
<br>
This control group allows activating or hiding helper elements in the main view and
influencing some visual properties of the displayed fiber (for example the texture).
### Configuration Player
The configuration player controls which configuration will be displayed in the main
view of the application. Through the tab, specific configurations can be selected
or the autoplay-feature can be used, to cycle through every available config.
<br>
The tab also allows for other smaller settings to influence the display of and cycling
through the configurations.
### Camera Settings
The camera settings mainly control the camera in the main view of the application.
<br><br>
**Controls**
<br>
This control allows switching between two different camera modes:
*
`First Person Perspective`
, in this mode, the camera can be moved around freely
*
`Rotate Around The Center`
, with this mode, the camera is locked to the center of the fiber
**Camera**
<br><br>
Under the
`camera`
portion, there are two distinct controls:
*
`Set Camera`
allows setting different camera behaviours for when the configuration in the main view is changed
*
`None`
this will behave the same way as
`Keep Distance to Center`
*
`Set to Center Mass`
will place the camera at the origin of the fiber whenever you change configuration
*
`Keep Distance to Center`
will keep the camera at its current position whenever you change configuration
*
`Find The Fiber`
is a button that will center the camera of the view on the fiber
### Nucleosomes Explorer
This tab contains information about every nucleosome of the fiber loaded into the application.
Through this view, every nucleosome can be selected and a custom color can be assigned.
### DNA Explorer
This tab contains information about the DNA around the nucleosomes of the fiber loaded into
the application. Through this tab, every piece of DNA (excluding
`Linker DNA`
) can
be assigned a custom color.
### Linker DNA Explorer
This tab contains information about the Linker DNA of the fiber loaded into
the application. Through this tab, every piece of Linker DNA can be assigned a custom color.
### Cohesin/CTCF Explorer
Similarly to the other explorer tabs, this tab contains information about the
`Cohesin`
/
`CTCF`
of the fiber loaded into the application. Through this tab,
every
`Cohesin`
/
`CTCF`
element can be assigned a custom color.
### Tool: Color Gradient
This tool allows coloring every bead of the fiber that is currently loaded into the
application in a gradient based on two colors. Additionally, you can set the beginning
bead id and the end bead id, which determines, which beads will be included in coloring.
The same applies to the type of bead to be colored, where the different available types
can be included or excluded.
