Example of Transparency Variation

This is a trigram count of 1 Mb of my email Outbox. Size of objects are proportial to log of count. Color is normalized to max and min count values. Transparency is varied with the "(" and ")" keys.

      

 

Log vs. Linear Scale

Linear Scale

Size of objects are proportial to count with a maximum size of 10 (ANTz units). Color is normalized to max and min count values.

Download sample self-contained zip with ant.exe and csv files for the above example using a linear scale for object size. (source: my Eudora email outbox)

Log Scale
