The Category Matrix Browser graphically displays the frequencies of the dictionary categories per unit of analysis. The categories of the dictionary form the rows while the evaluated texts form the columns:
Call up the function via MAXDictio > Category Matrix Browser in the ribbon menu. The following dialog window will appear, in which you can set whether the documents, document groups or document sets will be displayed in the columns:
If you select the option Only for activated documents, only the documents activated in the “Document System” will be included in the display. Document groups and document sets without activated documents will not be displayed.
The nodes of the Category Matrix Browser contain the results of the count of the category frequencies. The larger a square, the more occurrences of the search terms of the respective dictionary category were found in the analyzed document, document group or document set.
