Chapter 2 GUI Using the Graphical User Interface
Menus
Menus File Open... : Display a file dialog in which you can select the NMR dataset to open. You can open raw data (FIDs) in Bruker (fid and ser), Varian/Agilent (fid), Nanalysis (.dx), SpinIt (data.dat) and generic JCAMP (.dx) formats. You can open processed data in NMRViewJ (.nv), Sparky...
Mouse and Trackpad Actions
The mouse can be used in four different modes: Crosshair, Selector, Peak, Region. The two primary modes are a Crosshair mode in which crosshairs can be displayed and moved and a Selector mode in which items can be selected and regions can be "dragged out". Switch between the modes by clicking...
Keyboard Bindings
Key Bindings You can quickly navigate around spectra and peak-lists using keys on the keyboard. To use this feature the active window must have the "focus", that is, it must be the last window you clicked the mouse in. Multi-key bindings Add peak These key sequence are used to add a peak at t...
Left (View control) Toolbar
Left (View Control) Toolbar The toolbar at the left side of the spectrum has controls for interactively controlling the view of the spectrum. Datasets : Click this icon to get a window with the Dataset Browser which allows scanning folders for NMR datasets and presenting a table of all the...
Spectrum Attributes
The right hand side of a spectrum window can contain four different panes, Processor, Content, Attributes, and Tools. Here we describe the use of the Attributes pane for the control of the display of spectra and peaks, including axes, color and borders. The Attributes section has the...
Status Bar
The status bar at the bottom of the spectrum window gives access to controls for changing the mode of the mouse cursor, for displaying the chemical shift position of the crosshairs, for accessing some Tools, accessing spectrum phasing, and changing the display mode (traces, stack plots, contours)....
Spectrum Popup Menu
Hold down MENU (the right mouse button) within a spectral display window to display this menu. View Expand : Expand the view to the region contained within the crosshairs Full : Change the view to show the entire spectrum Zoom In : Zoom the view in to show a smaller region of the spectrum...
Dataset and Peak Content
There is essentially no limit to the number of datasets and peak lists that can be displayed within a single spectrum chart window. The Content panel can be selecting the Content button (in the set of Processor, Content, Attributes and Tools) at top right of spectrum area. The Content panel has...
Datasets Table
The Dataset Table can be displayed by clicking the Table icon at the left side of the status bar (bottom of spectrum window). It is primarily used when you have multiple datasets displayed in a single chart, though it can be used to update spectrum attributes of a single window (as an alternative...
Python Scripting
Scripting the GUI with Python Tools for controlling the display of spectra from Python scripts are under development. The following is a summary of currently available commands. These are all assocciated with the nw command. So, for example, to expand the currently active window to the region...
