The showVar GUI is used to calculate and display the variance of the time courses of the functional data. The Calculate button must be pressed to invoke processing. Pressing the RUN button will popup a display of the variance map overlayed onto the specified background. If the OvlThres and MaxOvlRng are not specified (i.e. set to 0) then values are automatically determined. If the plot timeCourse option is selected, then clicking on the displayed variance map will result in the associated timecourse being plotted.
