Data Management and Compiling Databases
• Select In to zoom in on cluster.
• Select Out to zoom out on cluster.
• Select Distance to designate the distances between organisms
with lines and to note the distances with a key in the lower
right corner of the cluster.
• Select Groups to encircle the entries that are in the same
groups in the dendrogram.
• Select Lines in the three-dimensional cluster to draw a line
from each organism to the base.
• Select to the left of Live to enable the spin of the threedimensional
cluster left.
• Select to the right of Live to enable the spin of the threedimensional
cluster right.
• Click on Spin, Roll, and /or Rotate, Fast or Slow, to capture
the best view of your cluster.
6. Click Print to print any diagram. (Note: “Live” feature must be
disabled to print cluster diagram)
Note: When searching your own database, you can view and print
dendrograms, 2-D, and 3-D cluster diagrams by following the
instructions above in “Using cluster analysis with IDs.”
Using cluster analysis with collected data
To obtain a dendrogram displaying the spatial relationships between
your own organisms in a saved data file, refer to “Printing Data
Headers, Species Counts, and Dendrograms” beginning on page 7-13.
1. From the Compile window, enable the desired box:
• Make Index Files
• Print Species/Plate Dendrograms (to generate one
dendrogram for each MicroPlate)
2. When the data file compiles, printouts of your dendrograms will
display linear relationships.
