Floors

Overview

The Floors feature in Mantis allows you to organize, navigate, and analyze data across multiple conceptual or data-driven layers within the same workspace. Each floor can represent a distinct subset, modality, or embedding, supporting hierarchical and multi-resolution exploration.

Purpose

• Separate your data into logical or hierarchical layers for clarity and focus.
• Explore relationships across different data types, dimensions, or abstraction levels.
• Drill down from high-level overviews to detailed subspaces without losing context.
• Compare and link related points, clusters, or groups across different floors.

Key Features

• Multi-Layer Navigation: Switch between floors using simple controls or keyboard shortcuts.
• Linked Selection: Selecting points on one floor can highlight or reveal related items on other floors.
• Custom Floor Creation: Define new floors based on filters, metadata, or imported mappings.
• Hierarchical Visualization: Visualize both broad and detailed patterns by moving between overview and detail floors.
• Cross-Floor Linking: Map connections between points or clusters across layers for richer, multi-scale analysis.
• Real-Time Updates: Floors update as you add data, change filters, or create new groupings.

Tips:

• Use floors to keep complex projects organized, especially with multi-modal or multi-resolution data.
• Link floors to track relationships (e.g., individuals to organizations, concepts to documents).
• Start with a high-level floor, then create detailed subfloors for deeper analysis as needed.
