Applying Filters (Gates)

In Everest Software, a gate is a type of filter that is derived from another region. After creating regions,
you can apply gates to select a specific area of a plot or histogram. This allows you to restrict analysis
to a particular population within a sample and exclude the rest.
Note: When you create a rectangle, ellipse, or polygon region, Everest Software creates a NOT
gate that includes events that fall outside of the region.
To apply a filter to a plot or histogram
1. Point to the plot or histogram that you want to filter.
The plot and histogram toolbar appears.
2. Click Apply Filter.
A list of available filters appears.
3. Select the checkbox for the filter that you want to apply.
The applied region is shown in the upper left corner of the plot or histogram.
