Using Graph Toolbars and Palettes
For each graph, there is a toolbar that provides you with quick access to some common palettes from which you can perform a number of actions with your graphs. Each view (Categories and Concepts, Clusters, and Text Link Analysis) has a slightly different toolbar. You can choose between the Explore view mode or the Edit view mode.
While Explore mode allows you to analytically explore the data and values represented by the visualization, Edit mode allows you to change the visualization's layout and look. For example, you can change the fonts and colors to match your organization's style guide. To select this mode, choose
from the menus (or click the toolbar icon).In Edit mode, there are several toolbars that affect different aspects of the visualization's layout. If you find that there are any you don't use, you can hide them to increase the amount of space in the dialog box in which the graph is displayed. To select or deselect toolbars, click on the relevant toolbar or palette name on the View menu.
