The ClassMarker Master Tab Heat Map Panel
    The heat map view of the Master Tab shows all the genes in the file. If a particular gene did not pass the filter, its corresponding line is colored light cyan.You can use the button in the top panel to customize the view. You can switch from one class to another by clicking in the appropriate part of the class (learn more) or using the Left/Right keys of the keyboard.

    You can use the buttons (B and C) of the selected class (A) to specify the class attributes.


Specifying class attributes

    There are multiple attributes possible for a class. To change them, you must select the Master Tab, then select the target class.

    The Used check box specifies if the class is to be taken into account in the analysis. If you uncheck this box, this class will appear hatched, as the class shown by the D arrow in the figure, and the class will be excluded from analysis.
    The next two buttons are used to specify if the class is a normal (N button) or a train class (T button). A train class is colored in blue, as the two classes shown by the F arrow.
    You can also disable (mask out) a single sample by right-clicking its heat map and choosing the Set Unused option in the popup menu. The sample will be colored in gray, and the data of this sample will be excluded from analysis. To include a masked sample in analysis, right-click again its heat map and select the Set Used option in the popup menu.
    You can change the name of a class by selecting it, clicking the name (on the right of part A in the figure) and choosing a new name.
