Markers are used to select regions of interest in histograms or for the X parameter on a 2D plot. Markers can quickly report statistics from plots and if desired markers may be converted to gates for downstream population analysis. Markers are accessed by selecting the Gating tab→Create Gates→ Marker command and subsequently drawing a marker on a histogram of interest. All aspects of markers including color, size, visibility, end points and more may be controlled by using marker formatting.
