FJRealData

In addition to fjTextData, Mac version of FlowJo has another port for opening text files, called fjRealData. the primary difference between the two is header construction syntax and the fact that "real" format uses doubles, while 'text' uses integers. Data formatted in this way can be read directly into FlowJo V9 for analysis and/or exported as FCS files for future uses

please note - FJ PC users should instead convert their CSV files into FCS files using text-to-FCS utility provided on this blog a few posts back. 

 

 

Format of this data file:

Line1 = "FJREALDATA"           //(allows floating point valus)
M <tab> N                              
Key1 <tab> value1
...
KeyM <tab> valueM
P1Value1 <tab> P2Value1 <tab> ... PjValue1 <tab> Parm#Key1Name
P1Value2 <tab> P2Value2 <tab> ... PjValue2 <tab> Parm#Key2Name
...
P1ValueN <tab> P2ValueN <tab> ... PjValueN <tab> Parm#KeyNName
{values...}

M: Number of keyword name / value pairs specified one at a time

N: Number of parameter keywords that are specified in a matrix format

Key1, Value1:  The name and value for the first of M keywords specified one at a time (Use this for things like $FIL or other attributes you might want to display in the workspace, like custom keyword values, e.g., treatment, time, etc.)

PjValuek:  The value of parameter keyword number "k" for parameter number "j"

Parm#KeykName: The name of parameter keyword number "k", using # to specify where the number is to be inserted

possible values for P#DISPLAY:

LINEAR  ... linear axis
MANUAL = (x, y)   .... log axis

x = number of decades
y = offset of lowest displayed value on log scale
