Creating a Visualization
To compare BIME to Tableau, we will create the same bar graph that you
did in the Tableau section. You should note that like Tableau, BIME often
runs queries as a result of small changes you make in the UI; these queries
can add up in cost, especially if you're visualizing large tables. To create the
Shakespeare corpus length graph:
1. Select the Shakespeare connection that you just created, because you
want to analyze the Shakespeare table and click Load. This brings up
the analysis pane, which looks a lot like a Tableau workspace.
2. Drag the
corpus
entry from the Axis of Analysis menu to the Columns
bar, which means you're going to be visualizing on a per-corpus basis.
Then drag the
word_count
measure to the Measures bar. (Note there
are two places labeled Measures; you want the one on the right that
doesn't already have
word_count
listed.) This will bring up a table
showing word counts per corpus.
