In Stratis, the main way you interact with your data and analyses is through panels. Panels are modular components that display different types of information and allow you to perform various tasks within your workspaces. You can add multiple panels to a workspace, arrange them as needed, and connect them to create a cohesive workflow.

Panel connections are the key to synchronizing data and interactions between different panels. By connecting panels, you can ensure that changes in one panel are reflected in others, allowing for a more integrated and dynamic analysis experience.

Panel Types

Stratis offers several types of panels, each designed for specific purposes. For example:

  • Meteogram Panel: Displays meteorological data over time for a specific location. It provides a visual representation of weather conditions, allowing you to analyze trends and patterns.
  • Timeline Panel: Allows you to navigate through time and view data for specific time periods. It is useful for examining changes in conditions over time.
  • Conditions Matrix Panel: Enables you to define and visualize conditions based on various criteria. You can set up categories and test queries to evaluate different scenarios.
  • Map Panel: Provides a geographical view of your data, allowing you to visualize spatial relationships and patterns.
  • Entity Table Panel: Displays entity data in a tabular format, making it easy to view and analyze large datasets.
  • Query Editor Panel: Allows you to create and edit custom queries using the Stratis query language. This panel is essential for advanced data manipulation and analysis.
  • Data Browser Panel: Lets you explore and manage your datasets, providing a user-friendly interface for data selection and inspection.
  • Color Scale Panel: Used to define and visualize color scales for data representation, enhancing the visual clarity of your analyses.

See Panel Documentation for more information on each panel type. We are continually adding new panel types and new capabilities to Stratis.

Adding Panels

To add a panel to your workspace, select Workspace->Add Panel from the main menu. You will be presented with a list of available panel types. Choose the desired panel type, and it will be added to your current workspace.

Removing Panels

To remove a panel from your workspace, right click on the panel’s title tab and select “Remove Panel” from the context menu. Confirm the removal when prompted, and the panel will be deleted from your workspace. Note that this action cannot be undone, and will sever any connections the panel had with other panels.

Connections Between Panels

To create a connection between two panels, select Workspace->Edit Workspace from the main menu. This will display the workspace editor, where you can manage panel connections.

Each panel exposes a number of different Options, which can be used to either set a fixed value or feed in data from another panel. For example, the Meteogram panel has an option for “Location”, which can either be set to a specific coordinate, or connected to a Map panel to use the location selected on the map.

In the workspace editor, you can drag and drop connections between panels to link them together. Once connected, interactions in one panel will affect the connected panels, allowing for synchronized data views and analyses. To disconnect panels, simply remove the connection in the workspace editor.
