The Random Order Option


Users have the option of viewing the positions in an array in a random order instead of going left-to-right, and then up-to-down.  Users may turn on the random option in the image application options menu.  This option is useful for limiting user-bias if the Tissue MicroArray has been created in a non-random format.




Default Ordering

Default ordering is "Left-To-Right; Then Up-To-Down".  Normally when a user clicks the "Next" button, the next image to the right is displayed.  So if a user were to score a 3 by 3 array, they start with position (x=1, y=1) then (x=2,y=1), then (x=3,y=1), then (x=1,y=2), and so on.  The user will visit all positions in the array.

Default Ordering for 3 by 3 table:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
