This graph compares the number of results, compared by the value of a particular field. You can use the dropdown 'compare frequency by...' to select a field that you want to compare: depending on the metadata available for the corpus, this can be something like the date, the author, the genre, etc. This field will be shown on the x-axis, while the y-axis shows the number of results.
This visualisation counts the number of documents that match your search criteria. If you search for a term that occurs multiple times in a single documents, this is counted as a single result.
Normalisation
You can choose whether to apply normalisation.
- Choosing none is the default. The graph will display the number of documents matching your search.
- You can also view the amounts as a percentage. In this case, each bar shows the number of documents in that bin as a percentage of the total documents in the graph.
Zooming
You can zoom in on the x-axis by dragging the mouse. Double click on the graph to reset the zoom level.
Comparing queries
You can compare the results of multiple queries. For example, if you searched for bike, you can compare it with the results for tram. Use the button "compare with another query" to include more queries in your graph.
