============================================= Load, Save, Import and Export data in Gitools ============================================= Gitools' file formats --------------------- When saving a heatmap or an analysis, the format in which the heatmap/analysis is saved will be a native Gitools format. Thus, these file types can be opened with Gitools only. Also note that Gitools can directly open and save in \*.zip format, so there is no need to extract the archive. Read about the native :doc:`UserGuide_GitoolsHeatmapsFormat` which you can **load** and **save** from within Gitools. Loading and Saving are actions which need no input from the user at all. Gitools can store and load heatmaps and all the visual attributes in ``.heatmap`` and ``.heatmap.zip`` which therefore are great formats to pass on a data set with a certain formatting to your collaborators and colleagues. If you have preformed an analysis, the result can be saved as :file:`name-of-analysis.analysis-type.zip`. Here is a list of the native Gitools formats: ========================== ======================================= Gitools data type File extension ========================== ======================================= Heatmap ``.heatmaps, .heatmaps.zip`` Enrichment Analysis ``.enrichment, .enrichment.zip`` Overlap Analyis ``.overlapping, .overlapping.zip`` Group Comparison Analysis ``.comparison, .comparison.zip`` Correlation Analysis ``.correlations, .correlations.zip`` Combination Analysis ``.combinations, .combinations.zip`` ========================== ======================================= When **Importing**, Gitools will ask for user input in order to know how to represent the data. **Exporting** refers to a data form which can either not be loaded again in Gitools (such as a figure/image) or to a rudimentary data form which needs to be imported again, such as flat text files. Import my own data into Gitools ----------------------------------- Import any data in form of a text file or excel sheet containing your data into Gitools. Read more at :doc:`UserGuide_DataTypes`. If you want to know about specific data files used by Gitools internally, read more here: :doc:`UserGuide_SpecialFileExtensions` in Gitools.
