23 <title>Multiple Alignment Views</title>
27 <strong>Multiple Alignment Views</strong>
29 <p>Multiple alignment views allow the same alignment to be viewed
30 independently in many different ways simultaneously. Each view is an
31 independent visualization of the same alignment, so each may have a
32 different ordering, colouring, row and column hiding and sequence
33 feature and annotation display setting, but alignment, feature and
34 annotation edits are common to all, since this affects the
37 Create a new view using the <strong>"View→New
38 View"</strong> menu item, or by pressing <strong>Control+T</strong>. A
39 newly created view will be identical to the view it was created
40 from, but any changes to the way the alignment is coloured or
41 displayed will only affect the new view.
43 <!-- TODO sharing selections between views -->
45 A particular view may focus on some specific aspect of an alignment
46 - for example, hiding all but the region of an alignment containing
47 a particular domain. <strong>Right-clicking</strong> a view's tab
48 opens the View Name dialog box, allowing it to be renamed to
49 something more meaningful.
52 <strong>Viewing Multiple Views Simultaneously</strong>
55 Multiple views of an alignment are, by default, gathered together as
56 tabs within a single alignment window. They can be viewed
57 simultanously by pressing <strong>X</strong> (or via <strong>"View→Expand"</strong>)
58 to expand each view into its own linked alignment window. Expanded
59 views are gathered back into a single tabbed alignment window by
60 pressing <strong>G</strong>, or by selecting <strong>"View→Gather"</strong>.
63 <strong>Hidden Sequence Representatives and Multiple Views</strong>
66 There are some unexpected interactions between hidden sequence
67 representatives and their display in multiple views. See the
68 corresponding entry in the <a href="hiddenRegions.html">documentation
69 for hidden regions</a>.
72 <strong>Structure and Analysis Viewers and Multiple Views</strong>
75 A tree calculated on a particular view, or loaded onto it, is by
76 default associated with just that view. However, the <a
77 href="../calculations/treeviewer.html">Tree Viewer's</a> <strong>"View→Associate
78 leaves"</strong> submenu allows a tree's view association to be
79 changed to to any or all other views.
82 The results of a <a href="../calculations/pca.html">PCA
83 calculation</a> on a particular view may also be associated with other
84 views, using the PCA Viewer's <strong>"View→Associate
85 Nodes"</strong> submenu.
88 <a href="jmol.html">PDB Structure Viewers</a> opened on a structure
89 associated with a sequence in a particular view are now (as of
90 Jalview 2.3) associated with the same sequence in all views. This
91 means that when 'Colour by Sequence' is selected in the structure
92 view, the colour will be updated to the colours given in the view
93 with the current input focus.
95 also, by default, only be associated
96 with the sequence as it is displayed in that view. The
97 "View→Associate View" submenu allows the association of
98 alternative views.</p> -->
