Views in Squey

Squey is a graphically oriented investigation software on multi-dimensional large sets of data. That’s why it uses different graphical representations.

By extension, all widgets that present any kind of data is called a View. This applies to the following forms of data representations:

• in raw format (as given by the original strings in the text files, for example)

• in a graphical representation

• as the result of computations done on the raw data.

Warning

In the Squey terminology, these graphical and non-graphical representations are called Views.

The next screenshot gives a sample of the most significant Views in Squey:

Graphical Views

Squey provides different Graphical Views to help the user interact with its data or get an idea of what this data express.

Some of the Graphical Views are directly connected to the data and values it holds. This is the case with the following Graphical Views:

• The Global Parallel Coordinates View

• The Zoomed Parallel Coordinates View

• The Scatter Plot View

Some of the Graphical Views of Squey are representations of computations that ran on all or part of the data. This is the case with the following Graphical Views:

• The Hit Count View

As said before, some of the Views in Squey are non-graphical.

Today, this terminology encompasses the following Views:
