Select Chrom>Select Chroms… or click when you want to focus the graph on only a few
chromosomes, rather than all of the chromosomes in the data. Selecting the command displays the
Select Chromosomes dialog. Use this dialog both to select chromosomes for display and to juggle their
display order.
The lower text field shows the chromosomes and the order in which they will be displayed.
To delete a chromosome from the graph display, click the cell in the Delete row below that
chromosome. An asterisk in a field means the chromosome will not be displayed; a clear field
means the chromosome will be displayed. Click the Deletion cell to toggle display on and off.
In the screen shot above, the Deletion cells for 1, 2, 3, and 6 are cleared, meaning those
chromosomes will be displayed. When a chromosome is removed from the display, its number
disappears from the lower text field, also. In the box above, clicking the empty cell under "3" would
remove chromosome chromo3 from the graph display.
To reorder chromosomes, click on a number in the Chromosomes row. It swaps places with the
next displayed cell to its right. Clicking the last displayed cell swaps it with the first displayed cell.
Example: In the screen shot above, clicking 1 will swap 1 and 2, and the display order will be 2 1 3
6. Clicking 3 will swap 3 and 6, so the display order would be 1 2 6 3. Clicking 6 will swap 6 and 1,
so the display order would be 6 2 3 1.
Click Select All to show all the chromosomes.
Click Select First to show only the first chromosome.
Click Help to display help text for this dialog.

Parameters dialog. Use this dialog to refine the display, change font sizes and colors used, and so on.
