FCS
Express was designed to be
intuitive and easy to use. It is based on the familiar
Powerpoint® interface, which is familiar to everyone in the life
sciences. All objects placed on a layout can be manipulated using
standard Microsoft Windows techniques
Advanced User Interface
FCS Express possesses an advanced user interface found only is some of the most sophisticated products available.
The Taskbar on the right works
similarly to the one in Microsoft Powerpoint. You can choose one of
many predefined layouts to apply to your page. Once you have chosen a
layout, its a simple matter to click to insert the plot type that you
desire. You then choose the file that you want to display, and the plot
appears in the right place at the desired size.
The image above shows an example of our Floating Toolbars. You can position the toolbars anywhere that you like, as well as turn then on or off.
You can also see in the bottom left that you can change the Zoom. FCS Express supports zooming from 10-400%!!!
Unlimited UNDO
With FCS Express, you never have to worry about making a mistake again.
Every action in FCS Express can be undone, similar to popular Microsoft
Office products. FCS Express supports multilevel undo, so you can go
back as far as you like.

Manipulating Objects
Objects in FCS Express support many different features:
- Copy
- Cut
- Paste
- Delete
- Duplicate
- Align
- Group
- Order (bring to front, send to back, etc..)
Furthermore, any object can be copied to the clipboard as a high resolution graphic, for publication quality images.
Below is an example of multiple
plots and a text box grouped together. The borders of the objects are red to denote that they are in selected mode. Since they are all selected, resizing one item will
resize them all. The same applies for other features such as copying, deleting etc.
Formatting Objects
Making changes to any object in FCS Express is as easy as
right-clicking. Every possible action appears on the pop up menu when
you right click. To alter your plot or
statistics, simply right click on the item and select your action from
the drop down list that appears. The example below illustrates how easy
it is to change a statistics window by right-clicking.
The example below shows the options you have when changing a 2D plot.
