Figure 1
Summary of TAP’s dual-panel visualisation. The top panel shows raw values as a line plot, while the bottom panel displays stacked peak bars aligned on the same x-axis. Colours and order are consistent across panels. Vertical lines indicate overlapping peaks between primary and secondary variables, aiding quick identification of co-occurrences.
Figure 2
TAP architecture, split by files. The CLI module orchestrates ingestion, alignment, peak detection, visualisation and artefact export through four supporting modules. Outputs include a dual-panel figure, a peak report (CSV) and a binary peak matrix (CSV).
Figure 3
TAP dual-panel visualisation with default overlap markers.
Figure 4
TAP dual-panel visualisation using ‘inverse1’ overlap mode for colour inversion inside the timeline rectangle (peak bar).
Figure 5
TAP dual-panel visualisation using ‘inverse2’ overlap mode, which inverts overlap markers only when their colour would otherwise be too similar, as measured by [25], to the series colours, improving contrast and readability in dense or colour-similar scenarios.
Figure 6
Output matrices. (a) peak reports, (b) binary peak matrix. The input files are examples/synthetic_primary2.csv and examples/synthetic_secondary2.csv from the repository.
