Spectrogram Area and

Tools Panel

Some of the most unique features in Iris are the Spectral Filters and the visual way of

interacting with them through a spectrogram. A spectrogram is a graph that displays

frequency on the x-axis, and time on the y-axis, with the amplitude of each frequency

represented by contrast. The spectrogram area in Iris not only displays this graph, but also

allows you to implement ﬁlters directly on the graph by drawing, selecting, and isolating

particular frequencies with a toolset similar to photo-editing and graphic design platforms

and precision ﬁltering algorithms.
