12TITLE           Species selections (=editor configurations)
13
14OCCURRENCE      ARB_NTREE/Species/Selections
15
16DESCRIPTION     Species selections basically are sets of species.
17
18                Technically the terms "species selections" and "editor configurations"
19                (or simply "configurations") are synonymic. For a detailed description
20                what is stored in an editor configuration see LINK{species_configs_saveload.hlp}.
21
22                You may use configurations to
23
24                    * save/restore which species are currently marked (see LINK{mark.hlp}).
25                      Available operations are decribed below.
26                    * start the sequence editor on a defined set of species (see LINK{arb_edit4.hlp})
27                    * highlight multiple configurations in the tree display
28                      using the 'Highlight in tree' button (see LINK{species_configs_highlight.hlp})
29
30                This window provides several operations on configurations:
31
32                        - STORE (save a (new) configuration)
33                        - EXTRACT (= unmark all, then mark the species stored in the selected configuration)
34                        - MARK/UNMARK/INVERT (mix currently marked species with those marked in configuration)
35                        - COMBINE (unmarks all that are not in configuration. This does an intersection
36                          between the currently marked species and those from the selected configuration)
37                        - DELETE (delete a configuration)
38                        - RENAME (rename a configuration)
39
40                Each configuration has a comment which may be changed by
41                editing the 'Comment' textfield. The 'Clear' button will remove
42                the comment in two steps:
43                  * first all dated log entries (1st click)
44                  * then the rest of the comment (2nd click)
45
46NOTES           The configuration window is as well available via the button that shows the number
47                of marked species in the top area of the main arb window.
48
49                        The number behind the species selections informs about the
50                number of species stored in each.
51
52                To test whether a selection contains the currently marked set of species,
53                first check whether the number of marked species (displayed on the button in the
54                main window) equals the number behind the selection in the list.
55                If so, use the INVERT button and check the number of marked species again:
56                if there are no marked species (=button is empty), the selection was equal, otherwise
57                it wasn't. In any case click INVERT again to restore the previously marked set of species.
58
59EXAMPLES            None
60
61WARNINGS        Unfortunately we use the term 'configuration' for two things:
62                  * configurations of settings/properties (as described in LINK{prop_configs.hlp})
63                  * species-selections aka editor-configurations (as described here)
64
65                Please do not mix them up.
66
67                Also note that "Species selections" have nothing todo with the LINK{selected.hlp}.

69BUGS                No bugs known
