Navigating the Cluster Viewer

The Cluster Viewer is an interactive display. You can:

  • Select a field or cluster to view more details.
  • Compare clusters to select items of interest.
  • Alter the display.
  • Transpose axes.

Using the Toolbars

You control the information shown in both the left and right panels by using the toolbar options. You can change the orientation of the display (top-down, left-to-right, or right-to-left) using the toolbar controls. In addition, you can also reset the viewer to the default settings, and open a dialog box to specify the contents of the Clusters view in the main panel.

The Sort Features By, Sort Clusters By, Cells, and Display options are only available when you select the Clusters view in the main panel. See the topic Clusters View for more information.
