FAQ: What is Galaxy visualization?
In the Galaxy visualization, individual documents are represented as gray dots. With this visualization, the goal is to give you a view of your dataset where closely related documents are generally located close to each other, and dissimilar documents are far apart. It is not a perfect representation of the document relationships due to the squeezing that occurs in reducing from high-dimensional space down to two-dimensional space, but:
- It's pretty good
- It's pretty fast
- It gives you a good starting point and general overview to work with.
