Visualization
The last tab in the window is the visualization tab. Within the program calculations and comparisons have
occurred on the data set. Selections of attributes and methods of manipulation have been chosen. The
final piece of the puzzle is looking at the information that has been derived throughout the process. The
user can now actually see the fruit of their efforts in a two dimensional representation of the information.
The first screen that the user sees when they select the visualization option is a matrix of plots
representing the different attributes within the data set plotted against the other attributes. If necessary
there is a scroll bar to view all of the produced plots. The user can select a specific plot from the matrix to
view its contents for analyzation. A grid pattern of the plots allows the user to select the attribute
positioning to their liking and for better understanding. Once a specific plot has been selected the user
can change the attributes from one view to another providing flexibility. Figure 9 shows the plot matrix
view.
