The Data Visualization tool helps you to quickly extract important information from large data sets by providing a way to visually analyze the data. Data Visualization creates a multi-layered, interactive graphic report by converting columns to dimensions or measurements. Once Toad visualizes the data, you can swap data dimensions to get the view you want.
Note: This feature is available in the Toad Data Point Professional Edition only.
To visualize data
Use one of the following methods to send data to the Visualize Data window:
Note: Toad automatically determines what columns in the data set are dimensions, measurements, and unused. Toad also determines the best order of the dimensions to drill down into the data.
Customize the visualization by modifying options in the Setup pane. Review the following for additional information:
Note: To drill down to the next visualized dimension, your must click a data point or pie/bar graph section.

Treelist (Dimensions, Measurements, Unused Columns)

Toad automatically determines how to use columns to create the visualization. The treelist displays which columns are dimensions and which columns are measurements (and which are unused). It also displays the order of the dimensions. To reorder or rearrange columns in the treelist Drag and drop columns up and down the treelist to reorder dimensions, or drag columns to a different category (dimensions/measurements) within the treelist.

To delete the anonymous Visualization tables
Toad creates anonymous visualization tables as part of the process of visualizing data. These tables are stored as part of the Local Storage hub. You may want to delete these tables to free up space. If you delete all the tables, they are recreated when you re-open the visualization.
To delete these tables, click in the Visualization toolbar. You can delete these tables individually or by file date or file size. The tables are identified by their date/time stamp.
