Subsections of Generate Diagram
Generate Diagram Cross Match
Generate diagram - categorical state cross-match
This tool allows you to generate a chart that shows the used categorical
states of two specific descriptors for one set of descriptions as a
cross-match. Select the Project and the two descriptors that shall
be compared in Descriptor and Descriptor 2. By selecting the
option Use names you will insert the categorical state names into
the diagram. By checking the option Use wording, the wording values
will be used if available. With the numeric control letters you can
control the length of the state labels. If you select option
Numbers, the sequence numbers of descriptors and categorical states
will be inserted. Furthermore after the Series name the item count
will be shown in the diagram.
After selecting entries for the Diagram source and entering a
Series name click on button 
to draw the
diagram (see image below).
With button 
you may switch between a 2D and 3D
view. In the Diagram area there is a drop down box, where you may
select a different color palette, buttons to rotate the 3D diagram in
different directions, change the perspective and the scaling. With
button 
you may save the diagram as an image file,
with button 
you may store the data rows as
tabulator separated text file.
Generate Diagram Multi Source
Generate diagram - categorical state usage
This tool allows you to generate a chart that shows the used categorical
states of a specific descriptor for one or more sets of descriptions.
Select the Project and the Descriptor. You may restrict the
categorical states that shall be included into the diagram by clicking
the 
Select states button. By selecting the
option Use names you will insert the categorical state names and the
descriptor name into the diagram. By checking the option Use
wording, the wording values will be used if available. With the
numeric control letters you can control the length of the state
labels. If you select option Numbers, the sequence numbers of
descriptors and categorical states will be inserted. Furthermore after
the Series name the item count will be shown in the diagram.

with button you may store the data rows as
tabulator separated text file.
In the Data sources area the button 
Add
source may be used to add additional data sources (see image below).
Use buttons 
and 
to
move the Diagram source to the top or bottom of the list and button
to delete the data source. By selecting Hide
you may temporarily ignore the data source for the diagram. With drop
down button 
you may select the display of
Relative values, i.e. values scaled to the number of items in the
Diagram source or Absolute values in the diagram.
Generate Diagram Usage
Generate diagram - descriptor usage
This tool allows you to generate a chart that shows the used desriptors
for one or more sets of descriptions. After selecting the Project
chose the first and the last descriptor in Descriptor and
Descriptor 2. By selecting the option Use names you will insert
the descriptor names into the diagram. By checking the option Use
wording, the wording values will be used if available. With the
numeric control letters you can control the length of the descriptor
labels in the chart. If you select option Numbers, the sequence
numbers of descriptors and categorical states will be inserted.
Furthermore after the Series name the item count will be shown in
the diagram.
