Change the color scheme of the PCA Analysis graph

You can temporarily change the color scheme of the PCA Analysis graph.

1. Open the Analysis Metrics tab. (See View Analysis Metrics.)

2. If needed, scroll down to the Graphs section. Then select the PCA Analysis tab.

3. To change the color scheme, select options from the two lists.

   • From the first list, select:

     • Condition — Applies the same color to all data points. The color represents sample quality.

     • Sample Name — Applies a unique color to each sample.

     • Plate Name — Applies the same color to all data points. The color represents the sample plate.

     • Sample ID — Applies a unique color to each sample.

   • From the second list, select either Protein or Peptide.

4. Set colors as you prefer.

   1. Select a label box below or to the right of the Color By lists. For example, if you selected Sample ID above, you can adjust the color for each sample.

   2. Use the color picker to select a color. (See Set color preferences in analysis results graphs.)

   3. Repeat for other label boxes.
