Visual Editor

A Visual Editor

associates visual properties to the data items. It works in one of the two ways: Assignment and Encoding.

Assignment

In Assignment mode, the visual editor sets the given visual properties of its input and overrides all previously set values.

Encoding

In Encoding mode, the visual editor assigns one type of visual property based on the attribute values of the data items using a scale. A color scale is applied when the visual property is of a color type. Otherwise a numerical scale is applied.
