Publication-ready figures, connected and in sync

Add a replicate and the figure redraws.

Pick a chart built from your own data, drop in an image, and arrange the panels. Each panel stays attached to the analysis it came from, so when you add replicates, a repeat run, or a whole new condition, the panel shows that its source has changed, and updating it brings in the new numbers. The plot, its error bars, and its statistics redraw where they sit.

Export at journal resolution when you are ready. Because each panel keeps the link to the image, flow run, or data table behind it, you can answer a reviewer's question by opening the source.

Twelve chart types, drawn from your data

Bar, grouped, proportion, box, histogram, scatter, violin, dot plot, line, heatmap, paired, and waterfall. Point a panel at a data table, an image analysis run, or a gated flow population and pick the mark that fits what you measured.

Error bars and significance, computed in the figure

Whiskers come from the replicate rows behind each point, as SD, SEM, or a 95% confidence interval. Build the comparisons you care about and the figure runs the test, corrects for multiple comparisons, and draws the brackets. Welch, Mann-Whitney, paired t, Wilcoxon, ANOVA, and Kruskal-Wallis are all there.

Start from a layout and reshape it around your panels

Two dozen presets from one panel to nine, on a canvas of free-form rectangles that keeps every one of them adjustable. Drag the gap between two panels to change how the space is split, cut a panel into columns, or run the pointer to the edge and add a full-width band that every neighbor makes room for. A figure that outgrows its preset is reshaped in place.

Arrows, labels, and scale bars stay editable

Mark up a panel with arrows, shapes, text, and a calibrated scale bar. The marks sit over the image rather than being burned into it, so an SVG export opens in Illustrator with each one selectable and every label still live text.

Building the figure

  • Multi-panel layouts

    Two dozen presets from one panel to nine, on a canvas that lets you reshape any of them afterwards.

  • Charts from your data

    Build and restyle charts in place from the images, flow runs, and tables in your project.

  • Heatmap clustering

    Cluster rows and columns so similar profiles sit together, with the linkage and distance you choose.

  • Panel labels and captions

    Automatic lettering with a style you set once, plus the caption, laid out and exported with the figure.

Where the data comes from

  • Panels linked to your data

    Every panel traces back to the analysis behind it, and shows when that source has changed.

  • Chart a data table in a figure

    Turn a data table into a chart panel without leaving the figure.

Getting it out

  • Export for print or screen

    PNG, SVG, or TIFF at 89, 183, or 254 mm and up to 600 DPI, sized for the journal, poster, or deck it is going into.

  • Review and sign-off

    Draft through approved, with comments and approvals on the figure and a flag when an approved one is edited.

  • Present from the figure

    Full screen for the whole figure, or panel by panel as a slideshow with the letters in the corner.
