Symbology of violin or box plot
david.weaver
I wish to alter the appearance of violin plots or box plots such that the data points (if they are shown) follow the colour or marker number options available in the Modify Trace Appearance dialog using an auxiliary wave or colour table. Whilst it is possible to set these parameters in the Modify Trace Appearance dialog by clicking the f(z) radio button, this has no effect on the data points in the violin or box plot.
This would be a useful visualisation feature to identify whether another variable contributes randomly or otherwise to the distribution of data points contributing to the violin or box plot.
This has been added in IP9, which is now in beta testing. If you're interested, please fill out our short form at https://www.wavemetrics.com/form/igor-pro-9-beta-tester-signup. You must have a valid Igor Pro 8 license in order to sign up to be a beta tester.
IP9 also adds the ability to make changes to the appearance of box plots and violin plots on a per-dataset basis. A short list of new features:
* Autosave
* HDF5 Experiment Files
* Improved Box Plot and Violin Plot style and plotting options
* Expansion setting for control panels to accommodate large or small monitors
* Command completion of user-defined functions and command tooltips for built-in and user-defined functions
* Sparse matrix support
* Complex curve fitting
* Extensive Multipeak Fitting package improvements
