of any graph. Left click and drag the mouse over the entire graph area to create a rectangle selection
area containing all particles. Again, particles selected are displayed in the View window.
Selecting Particles without opening the View Window:
To select particles without opening the View
window, press and hold the Ctrl key down before dragging the cursor across or around the particles of
interest in a graph. This is commonly done when particles are selected and then deleted using the Delete
Selected Particles function (Edit > Delete Selected Particles) to eliminate particles that are not of
interest.
Main Window Data Grids and Summary Statistics
Several data grids selected by tabs are shown near the bottom of the Main Window. The selection of the
grids that are included is made under Preferences > Main Window Settings > Grids.
The Summary Statistics grid is configured via Preferences > Main Window Settings > Summary
Statistics (tab). The user can select which calculated values (columns) and which Summary Statistics
(rows) are displayed in this grid. The selected calculated values (Mean, Minimum, Maximum, Median,
Standard Deviation, Coefficient of Variation, and D10/D25/D50(Median)/D75/D90) are listed for
particles displayed in the Main window. Important note: The statistics displayed in the Summary
Statistics grid are for “currently selected” particles only. For example when the interactive graph
selection method is used, the particle statistics are updated to reflect only the particles selected within
the graph. The data for all particles can be displayed by closing the View Window if open and left
clicking on an area in the Main window outside any of the graphs (in the gray area). The following
Figures (28-31) show examples of the various Main Window grids.
