Attribute Distribution Graphs

A attribute distribution graph can be created by choosing one of the menu items in the popup menu of the Venn diagram view. A attribute distribution graph is always created from the latest Venn diagram. The graph illustrates how large a portion of network nodes have a certain amount of attributes. The figure below shows an example of an attribute distribution graph.

Attribute distribution graph

The graph in the image has been created from a Venn diagram representing five different attributes. From the graph one can see that approximately half of the nodes in the network are such that they have only one of the attributes represented by the diagram while there is no node that would have all of the attributes. Note that the nodes may have more attributes but in this graph only those attributes that are represented by the Venn diagram are taken into account.

Because the exact portion of nodes belonging to each set can be difficult to see directly from the graph, tool tips are provided. By moving the mouse cursor over the graph you can see more precisely the portion of nodes belonging to a certain set:
