The views

TOPPView offers three types of views -- a 1D view for spectra, a 2D view for peak maps and feature maps, and a 3D view for peak maps. All three views support zooming for a closer look. They can be freely configured to suit the individual needs of the user.

1D view

The 1D view is used to display raw spectra or peak spectra. Raw data is displayed using a continuous line. Peak data is displayed using one stick per peak. The color used for drawing the lines can be set for each layer individually.

The following example image shows a raw data spectrum and the corresponding peak spectrum:

2D view

The 2D view is used to display peak maps and feature maps in a top-down view with color-coded intensities. Peaks and feature centroids are displayed as dots. For features, also the overall convex hull and the convex hulls of individual mass traces can be displayed. The color gradient used to encode for peak and feature intensities can be set for each layer individually.

The following example image shows a small section of a peak map and the detected features in a second layer.

In addition to the normal top-down view, the 2D view can display the projections of the data to the m/z and RT axis. This feature is mainly used to assess the quality of a feature without opening the data region in 3D view.

3D view

The 3D view can display peak maps only. Its primary use is the closer inspection of a small region of the map, e.g. a single feature. In the 3D view slight intensity differences are easier to recognize than in the 2D view. The color gradient used to encode peak intensities, the width of the lines and the coloring mode of the peaks can be set for each layer individually.

The following example image shows a small region of a peak map:
