The visualizer menu has five drop-down selection boxes. The first will let you choose between the training and the validation set. The next two are called X and Y. They are used to specify what two features to plot and X and Y denotes the horizontal and vertical axis respectively. The next two are named U and V. They can be used to plot a second pair of features simultaneously with the X and Y pair. To plot U and V you must first enable Use UV as X2Y2 in the Options menu.

The Options menu offer the following:

  • Plot Mode - Line and/or Scatter.
  • Use UV as X2Y2 - Toggle the secondary U-V pair mentioned above.
  • Make Filter - If you have selected any samples in this visualizer you can choose between removing them, or removing all other samples but them, and apply this removal as a filter on the filter stack of the data unit being displayed by the visualizer.
