Feature request: plotting function

I'm sure many must already have wished for a plotting function (scatter plots, property distribution histograms, ability to select subsets of compounds in graphs, and obviously highlight a structure when hoovering over a data point), but I couldn't find it in the forum, so here it is. Is any of this type of functionality in the works? Graphs with property sliders as implemented in SpotFire would be really cool...

Yes this is a much requested feature, and is very high on our wish list of new features.


However, current developments concentrate on usabilities issues, aimed to make it easier for new users to get started with IJC. But once these issues have been solved then we certainly plan much enhanced visualization capabilities, including charting, sliders and all that.


We would welcome any particular suggestions you might have.

Well, there are some obvious functions many of us would like to see:





simple statistics on any table property, such as mean, median, minimum, maximum value, standard deviation





2D scatter plots of any vs. any numerical property, color-coded by a 3rd property, shaped by a 4th, and sized by a 5th property;





range sliders allowing to shrink or expand the plotting range (but this may infringe on SpotFire patents?)





radiobuttons to switch on or of certain predefined subsets in the plots





frequency histograms with bins, showing how many compounds fall within a certain range of f.e. molecular weight





being able to select subsets of compounds by choosing them from a plot or histogram





hovering over a data point should highlight the corresponding compound in the table and maybe show the structure separately





substructure searches and the like should mark the data points in the plot containing the queries

Thanks for those suggestions. Many were already on the radar, but its very useful to have this sort of feedback.
