Research Analytics Hits Graph

Like the standard Hits Graph associated with the Search Tab, the Research Analytics Hits graph displays the density of hits across the search range. It is used to identify overall trends in the search results. Because it is comparing the results of two or more Texts, the contribution of each Text to the overall search can also be displayed.

  • Horizontal axis: Search range
  • Legend (below graph): Search argument for each graph
  • The tab does not scroll, but as it is widened or lengthened, the graph adjusts to fit.
