Description

This tool takes data and plots it as co-ordinates in 2D or 3D space. The graph can be rotated, panned, and zoomed. Data can be viewed along a particular axis by pressing the corresponding key, i.e. x, y, z. Rolling over a data node will display detailed co-ordinate information.

Currently this applet works primarily with the Principal Components Analysis tool, where each axis represents an eigenvector.

This tool uses the processing library.

* This tool requires the JRE (v1.4.2 and up) in order to work properly.

Pseudocode

  • get the data provided by the Principal Components Analysis tool and process it to determine maximum values
  • create nodes for each word using the data
  • initialize the processing environment
  • draw axes and nodes
  • setup listeners for keyboard and mouse actions

Responsibility

This tool was programmed by Andrew MacDonald as part of the TAPoR project.
