The Venn Diagram Creation GUI

This window lets you create and display Venn diagrams based on the current network and a set of attributes. Two different types of diagrams can be created:

Venn diagrams
Ordinary Venn diagrams can be used to present a maximum of four different attributes. These diagrams will be created if the window was opened via the Display Venn diagram... menu option.
Edwards' Venn diagrams
Edwards' Venn diagrams can basically be used to represent an arbitrarily large set of different attributes. However in practice the diagrams become hard to read with large sets. Edwards' Venn diagrams are drawn in a different way than ordinary Venn diagrams. These diagrams will be created if the window was opened via the Display Venn-Edwards Diagram... menu option.

In both of the cases the user interface looks very much the same. On the below there is the interface for creating ordinary Venn diagrams and on the right the one for creating Edwards' Venn diagrams.

The window contains a table where you can choose the attributes to be presented in the diagram. Note that if you are creating an ordinary Venn diagram you can choose a maximum of four different attributes or an error message will be displayed when creating the diagram. For Edwards' Venn diagrams the number of attributes is basically unlimited.

When creating Edwards' Venn diagrams the dialog contains extra buttons for choosing whether to use sine or cosine curves and whether to only draw curves. If you choose to draw sine curves the created diagram will actually be a Smith diagram. If you check the Draw as curves only box the shapes will only consist of the sine or cosine curves and no circles or rectangles will be included.

The window also contains text fields where you can configure the size and location of the created diagram in the draw area:

The diagram will be created for the selected attributes when you click on the Create button. The view area will then display the new diagram and the old view will be replaced by it.

To close the window without creating a diagram click on the Cancel button.
