How to use Data Visualization
Publication-ready figures that read at a glance
Charts and diagrams built to journal specification — correct sizing, typography and colour, exported at the resolution the publisher wants.
Before you start
- • A signed-in SciExpert account
Steps
- 1
Open Data Visualization
From the workspace sidebar choose Data Visualization. On a phone, open the All menu and tap Data Visualization.
- 2
Set up your inputs
Charts and diagrams built to journal specification — correct sizing, typography and colour, exported at the resolution the publisher wants. Start with the smallest realistic input so you can check the output before scaling up.
- 3
Run it
Run the tool and check the first output: publication figures in r (ggplot2), python (matplotlib/seaborn) and graphpad prism.
- 4
Review what came back
Work through the results: custom colour palettes, typography and layouts matching journal guidelines; multi-panel figures with shared legends, highlighting and annotations; forest plots, kaplan-meier curves, volcano plots, heatmaps and correlation matrices.
- 5
Save or export
Save the configuration as a preset if you will repeat it, and export the output when you need it outside SciExpert. Your inputs persist across refreshes and sign-ins.
Tips
- • Start with a small input, verify the output, then scale up.
- • Save a preset once the configuration works so you can reuse it across papers.
Troubleshooting
Nothing happens when I run it
Check that every required field is filled and that your plan includes this service — locked services show a padlock in the sidebar.
The output is not what I expected
Reduce the input to a single item, confirm the result is correct, then add the rest back gradually.
