IBM SPSS Modeler Stream Canvas

The stream canvas is the largest area of the IBM® SPSS® Modeler window and is where you will build and manipulate data streams.

Streams are created by drawing diagrams of data operations relevant to your business on the main canvas in the interface. Each operation is represented by an icon or node, and the nodes are linked together in a stream representing the flow of data through each operation.

You can work with multiple streams at one time in IBM SPSS Modeler, either in the same stream canvas or by opening a new stream canvas. During a session, streams are stored in the Streams manager, at the upper right of the IBM SPSS Modeler window.

Note: If using a MacBook with the built-in trackpad's Force Click and haptic feedback setting enabled, dragging and dropping nodes from the nodes palette to the stream canvas can result in duplicate nodes being added to the canvas. To avoid this issue, we recommend disabling the Force Click and haptic feedback trackpad system preference.
