  1. Recovering numeric data from an image of a graph


    Sometimes all you have is an image file (perhaps from a scanned publication) and you would like to convert the data points to xy coordinates (maybe you want to try an analysis on someone else's data). R gives some tools to help. Here is the start of some code:

  2. Gene Paint image library

    GenePaint is a digital atlas of gene expression patterns in various tissues and species with strong focus on mouse embryos. The in situ section mages are in amazingly high resolution so you can clearly see which cells express the gene of interest.

  5. Organising data in Excel for analysis

    From time to time I get asked to help with a statistical analysis. When I ask for the data I often get a spreadsheet like this. OK, I can read this and sometimes make sense of it, but there are a number of important issues including: With a little bit of learning, this can all […]

  8. Prettier graphs using Excel


    Excel excels at ugly graphs, However it can produce nice graphs if you know how. It takes a little thought, and a little effort to transform the default graphs, setting sizes, spacing, colours, fonts, formats, but once you are familiar, it takes little time, and once you have a nice format you can even re-use the graph format in different projects - all you need to do is point it to different data sets.

    About one in ten males (including myself) have some degree of red-green colour blindness (and 0.5% of females), so you should bear that in mind when you are making graphics to display to others. Here are some suggestions for making colour-blindness friendly graphics.

  10. Loading sets of images into powerpoint slides

    screen-5
    Sometimes one may want to generate a PowerPoint slide with a set of images - for example a set of micrograph images to discuss with your colleagues (or a lovely set of your holiday photos to make your friends jealous). You can do this by manually adding each image, one by one, then resizing, repositioning, formatting .... , but there is a much quicker way. Here is a guide to automating the process.
