How to Highlight One Factor?

This guide explains how to highlight specific factors on the spatial map and UMAP, using Factor 0 as an example.

Factor Highlight

1. Check Interaction Support

Verify that the active factor layer supports interactive highlighting.

Supported Layer Types

Interactive features are available for vector-based layer types (e.g., RAW_PIXEL). Raster layers (RASTER) do not support individual factor highlighting.

2. Interaction Action

The available interaction modes are displayed in the Explore Factor section of the drawer.

In this example:

  • Single-Click: Displays the marker gene table for the selected factor.
  • Double-Click: Highlights the selected factor on both the UMAP and the spatial map.

3. Factor Chip

In this example:

  • Double-click the Factor 0 chip in the Factor Grid to highlight it.
  • Single-click the Factor 0 chip to view its marker genes.

Additional Actions

  • Add to Selection: Click additional factor chips to simultaneously highlight multiple factors.
  • Switch Marker View: Single-click a different factor chip to view its marker genes without changing the map highlight (unless double-clicked).
  • Clear Highlight: Click the highlighted factor chip again or use the Mute button to clear the selection.
