Pose Explorer — Property Preparation Panel
This panel allows you to prepare properties before doing the clustering of poses, to add properties from an external source, and to remove properties that are not of interest.
To open this panel, click the Advanced Property Preparation button in the Advanced Project Options Panel.

Using the Property Preparation Panel
The property preparation panel is intended to enable properties to be calculated before clustering, so that any problems can be sorted out before the clustering is done.
Property sets can be added by using the Add Property Sets panel (click Add New Sets). This panel allows you to calculate the predefined property sets, with some choices to limit the 2D fingerprints, and to import property sets from a CSV file.
When you have calculated or imported some properties, you can view a representation of the properties for which data is missing for one or more poses, by clicking View Properties with Missing Data. You can then decide whether to remove the property (which you can do in the Missing Data panel), or remove poses that have missing data (which you can do by clicking Change poses in the Advanced Project Options panel), or continue with the missing data.
If you know that some properties are not useful or not of interest for clustering, you can remove them from the list by selecting them and clicking Remove Selected Properties. These properties are not removed from the project, only excluded from the list considered for clustering and mapping.
Likewise, you can remove properties that have the same value for all poses by clicking Remove Constant Properties: these properties will have no effect on the clustering.
Note: Once you have removed a property, you cannot add it back. The property list used in this panel is stored in the project, so you should be certain that you want to remove a property from consideration before you click this button.
Property Preparation Panel Features
Property Set section
This section allows you to choose which properties to display, by property set.
- Show All button
-
Show all property sets in the properties list.
- Show None button
-
Hide all property sets in the properties list (clears the list). This is useful for example if you want to import a set of properties and use only those properties.
- Property set options
-
These options allow you to choose which property set to display in the properties list. Options are present for the predefined sets for which properties exist. The last option, Uncategorized, applies to any property that does not belong to one of the predefined sets. Deselecting all of these options shows all properties: in other words, since no particular set has been selected, all of them are shown.
Properties section
In this section, the available properties are listed, and tools are provided for managing these properties.
- Select All button
-
Select all the properties on the list.
- Select None button
-
Clear the property selection.
- Property list
-
List of available properties. You can select multiple items in the list with shift-click and control-click.
- Add New Sets button
-
Add sets of properties, either by calculating them or by reading them in. Opens the Add Property Sets Panel.
- Remove Selected Properties button
-
Remove the selected properties from the list. This does not delete the properties from the project, but makes them unavailable for use in the Dock Explorer.
Note: Once you have removed a property, you cannot add it back. The property list used in this panel is stored in the project, so you should be certain that you want to remove a property from consideration before you click this button.
- Remove Constant Properties button
-
Remove properties from the list that have the same value for all poses.
- View Properties with Missing Data button
-
View properties for which one or more poses do not have a value. Opens the Missing Data panel, which displays a red table cell for each pose that is missing data for a property. Only the properties for which data is missing are represented in the table. You can select property columns to remove them from the property list (click Remove Selected Descriptors).
