Introduction
Most of the higher-level data analysis tools can be accessed through Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) in PLS_Toolbox. In many cases a GUI can make data analysis faster and easier to perform and interpret than using the command line analogs.
PLS_Toolbox is organized around 4 main GUI tools. Each tool is dedicated to a specific step in the data analysis process.
- The Workspace Browser is the Solo/PLS_Toolbox "desktop" environment. Here one has access to all loaded data, available analysis methods, the DataSet Editor, and other top level tools. With its "drag and drop" functionality, a user can quickly begin a number of data analysis tasks.
- The DataSet Editor is the primary data-handling GUI in PLS_Toolbox and Solo. It provides a variety of functions and tools for loading, editing, and saving data. As its name suggests, the object used in PLS_Toolbox and Solo for managing data is the DataSet Object.
- The Analysis GUI is the core interface with PLS_Toolbox and Solo data modeling and exploration functions. This is where you will create and explore your models.
- The PlotGUI Plot Controls interface is the principal data visualization tool for PLS_Toolbox. It provides a vast number of tools for labeling, manipulating, and publishing plots generated using PLS_Toolbox and Solo.
