Display (1D)

 

This mode can be used to view 1D database (from CSV files).

 

CSV (Comma Separated Values) files are database files containing rows of cells with text values.  The text in these cells usually represent numerical values.  SliceOmatic will present them in columns.  These columns will have header.  If there is a hierarchy in the header information, sliceOmatic will use it to group columns and offer the possibility to collapse all the columns of the same group.

 

The columns headers and the data cells are presented in 2 boxes that can be scrolled.

 

The header and data will be presented using colors:

 

 

Normal data is presented on a grey background.

 

Empty cells are presented in yellow.

 

Cells that contain an invalid (Not a Number) value have a red background.

 

Cells that contain multiple values have a red background.

 

Cells that contain text have a brown background.

 

Index columns have a cyan background.

 

Data columns (in AI modes) have a green background.

 

Class columns (in AI modes) have a blue background.

From the Display Area

 

If sliceOmatic was able to establish that some columns are part of the same group, then can expand/collapse this group of columns using the + or - before the groups' name.  The displayed values for data cells associated with a collapsed group will be "---".

 

 

 

When the cursor is over of header cells, column swap icons will apper.  If you click on these icons, you will swap the colum (or goup of columns) with it's neighbour.

 

 

 

And finally, when you click on a header cell (as long as it is not on the swap icons or the collapse/expand icon) you will cause the rows of the table to be sorted acording to the values in this column. If you click on a group of columns, the rows will be sorted acording to the first column of that group.
