Ability to set any value for a color handle, even if out of range.

Issue #93 closed
Anastasia Baryshnikova created an issue

If you double click on a handle, a window pops out that allows you to type the exact value you want that handle/color to correspond to. However, it doesn't accept certain values and says "Value out of range". I'm not sure I understand how anything could be out of range: the user should be able to set the handles to any number.

    I see that it will accept 0.999999, but not 1 or -1. I agree with Anna that the user should be able to input any value. Not sure what implications changing that might have on other things.

    This was addressed in 937cfa8. Right now, the application will allow you to set the color handles to any value that exists in the data (but not a value below the minimum or above the maximum value in the dataset). I believe that should close this issue, but please let me know if this is not the desired behavior.

    I think the user should be allowed to specify any value, even outside the range of data in the matrix. Sometimes you want to compare 2 clustergrams & you want to set them up to exactly the same value range.

    Ah, good point about comparing two datasets. That will likely take some reworking of the internal code. I'm going to change this to an enhancement instead of a bug, since it's now working as designed, but we'll keep the priority as major.
