ZELLMECHANIK-DRESDEN/ShapeOut

Showing only images of filtered events in image display panel

This would be an enhancement feature that would make browsing of cell images more convenient for user.

General information

  • Windows 7
  • ShapeOut 0.8.7
  • Windows 64bit

Steps to reproduce the problem

e.g.

  1. Open Shapeout
  2. Load a random dataset
  3. Apply some filters, for example 1-1.05 area ratio/porosity
  4. Click on a sample datapoint to inspect cell image
  5. Go to the cell image area and click "next" to view next contour

Data files

I worked with .tdms but I don't think it is file-dependant

Expected behavior

The images are pre-filtered according to the filters applied, i.e. when I click "next" ShapeOut displays only cells that are within applied filters, and skips the filtered-out frames. For example if cell 1,2,3 are retained after filtering and 4 is not (let's say it has porosity=1.09) image display skips it and jumps from frame 3 to frame 5 after "next" is clicked.

Actual behavior

In the image display region all images are shown, irregardless of applied filters to the dataset.

I thought this might have been a bug (because what you are describing sounds like the way it should be intuitively), but then I realized that this was actually a design thing.

Instead of changing anything in Shape-Out, I would like to propose a workaround for you:
After setting all of your initial filters, create a "filter hierarchy child" in the Filter tab. This will generate a new scatter plot with the expected behavior.

I hope this is acceptable...

Hi! Sure, there are ways around. I can also just click every time on the plot, or screen etc.

I just thought it would be a "nice to have" improvement that you could add at some point, but of course up to you!

As the development of Shape-Out 1 is now mainly limited to bug fixes and my time is limited as well, I am labeling this as "wontfix", closing the issue.

However, I just realized that the Quick View functionality in Shape-Out 2 had the same issue. This is now fixed in Shape-Out 2.1.6. I encourage everyone experiencing this issue to migrate to Shape-Out 2.
