How to do it…
Incanter makes this very easy. Let's take a look at just how simple it is:
1.
First, we need to load the dataset, as follows:
user=> (def iris (get-dataset :iris))
#'user/iris
2.
Then we just call
view
on the dataset:
user=> (view iris)
This function returns the Swing window frame, which contains our data, as shown in the
following screenshot. This window should also be open on your desktop, although for me,
it's usually hiding behind another window:
How it works…
Incanter's
view
function takes any object and tries to display it graphically. In this case, it
simply displays the raw data as a table. We'll use this function a lot in
