Plot multiple wells on same plot based on media condition or strain #57

Hello GCAT team,

In my growth reader experiments, I typically have numerous strains of yeast growing in numerous media conditions on the same plate. I would like to be able to generate the following two types of plots (based on data that will be in the "plate layout" file (graphical representation of the plate layout below):

  1. Plot by media condition, i.e. plot all of the "red" wells and label by strain number. Answers the question: "how did the various mutant strains respond to this media compared to the wild-type strain?"
  2. Plot by strain, i.e. plot all of the "1s" together and label by media condition (color). Answers the question: "how did an increasing concentration of copper affect the growth of this single strain?"

Since plotting is something that researchers can be fairly particular about (especially when making figures for papers), a potential long-term goal would be to have an interactive tool where a researcher can highlight wells to plot (and other options) and GCAT will spit out the multi-curve plot [should this be a separate ticket?]

Thanks for your help,

--Drew

Drew, could you give us an example dataset?
