Copy or export data of selection or visible area

Issue #12 new
Robert Leach created an issue

Every selected spot or group of spots should have a way to retrieve/observe data about the spot(s), such as: retrieve a list of column names, retrieve a list of row names, retrieve a list of values, observe or retrieve the average value of the selected spot(s), observe or retrieve an individual column or row name, etc. Perhaps even a table/matrix of the selected spots could be available for export. I think that contiguous and discontiguous area selections could be supported.

Retrieving selected data could be as simple as copying it to the clipboard or exporting it to a file. The way(s) to initiate the retrieval will be in another feature request yet to be submitted.

Observing selected data could be implemented as a tooltip or it could be displayed in a pane in the bottom right corner or both.

    Every time I edit an issue, it pre-selects some default menu selections, even if they differ from the selections made before the edit. Ugh.

    Basically, the functionality should be: export whatever is selected (or whatever is on the screen?) to a text file (row labels, col labels, data matrix).

    Java TreeView has a nice Export->Save Data interface that shows the sub-matrix with headers. You can also include or exclude both the data and/or the individual headers:
