ScanGraph Export ​

Export fixation sequences for scanpath analysis in the ScanGraph tool. Converts gaze data to letter-coded sequences for similarity comparison.

Purpose ​

ScanGraph export enables:

  • Scanpath similarity analysis
  • Fixation sequence comparison between participants
  • Advanced gaze pattern research
  • Integration with ScanGraph analysis tool

Export Process ​

  1. Select ScanGraph in Export Format section
  2. Choose desired stimulus to export
  3. Set export file name
  4. Click Download to save TXT file

File Format ​

The exported .txt file contains:

  • Fixation sequences as letter strings
  • Each letter represents a fixation on an AOI
  • Letter key provided in lines 4-5 of the file
  • Compatible with ScanGraph software

Using Exported Data ​

  1. Upload the .txt file to ScanGraph
  2. ScanGraph will process fixation sequences
  3. Compare scanpath similarities between participants
  4. Generate similarity matrices and visualizations

Future Development ​

Direct ScanGraph integration is planned for future GazePlotter versions. This will enable seamless scanpath analysis without external file transfers.
