Cluster Graphs

After building your clusters, you can explore them visually in the web graphs in the Visualization pane. The visualization pane offers two perspectives on clustering: a Concept Web graph and a Cluster Web graph. The web graphs in this pane can be used to analyze your clustering results and aid in uncovering some concepts and rules you may want to add to your categories. The Visualization pane is located in the upper right corner of the Clusters view. If it isn't already visible, you can access this pane from the View menu (View > Panes > Visualization). By selecting a cluster in the Clusters pane, you can automatically display the corresponding graphs in the Visualization pane.

Note: By default, the graphs are in the interactive/selection mode in which you can move nodes. However, you can edit your graph layouts in Edit mode, including colors and fonts, legends, and more. See the topic Using Graph Toolbars and Palettes for more information.

The Clusters view has two web graphs.

• Concept Web Graph. This graph presents all of the concepts within the selected cluster(s) as well as linked concepts outside the cluster. This graph can help you see how the concepts within a cluster are linked and any external links. See the topic Concept Web Graph for more information.
• Cluster Web Graph. This graph presents the selected cluster(s) with all of the external links between the selected clusters shown as dotted lines. See the topic Cluster Web Graph for more information.
