Feature Analysis View ​

Overview ​

Feature Control in Mantis allows users to manage which features are visible, active, or used in analysis and visualization. It acts as a filter and configuration hub, streamlining workflows and focusing attention on relevant data dimensions.

Purpose ​

  • Select which features are shown in plots, tables, or visualizations.
  • Filter and focus on key variables for specific analyses.
  • Exclude irrelevant or noisy features to declutter the workspace.
  • Configure feature-based encodings (e.g., color, size, shape) in visual panels.
  • Dynamically adjust the feature set as the exploration evolves.

Key Features ​

  • Feature Selection Panel: Toggle visibility and inclusion of features in analysis.
  • Encoding Controls: Assign features to plot axes, colors, or point attributes.
  • Filtering Options: Set thresholds, ranges, or categorical filters for active features.
  • Dynamic Updates: Instantly apply changes to all linked plots and panels.
  • Saved Presets: Create and recall custom feature sets for recurring workflows.
  • Context Integration: Automatically adapts suggested features based on data type or current selection.

Tips ​

  • Regularly adjust active features to declutter views and focus analysis.
  • Save feature presets for different workflows or project needs.
  • Use feature control to highlight important dimensions in presentations or reports.
