• View the decision models, obtained as a result of Decision Tree Query
• Load previously saved Decision Trees
• View brief reports

Page Controls

"Decision Tree Output" page contains such controls:

• "Expand Trees" button - press it to expand all Decision Tree nodes.
• "Collapse Trees" button - press to collapse all Decision Tree nodes.
• "Save Tree As..." button - opens "Save as" dialog. Decision Tree can be saved as "*.ltt" file, structured Text "*.txt" file or as a Bitmap "*.bmp" file.
• "Clear Tree" button - clears the obtained decision trees and brief report.
• A brief report is shown in the "Brief Decision Tree Report" control. If all Classes could be defined, it will contain such information:

  "All Classes Were Defined."

  All defined Classes are listed under "Defined Classes:" title.

  If some Classes were not defined, their list will be placed under "Undefined Classes:" title.

  "Number of Decision Trees Built:" displays the number of Trees that were built during the Query.

• "Processed Decision Tree"  control - displays structured Decision Trees. Each Tree is been marked with a number, for example "Decision Tree #1".

The loaded or created Decision Tree will be shown in the "Decision Tree" control. A set of buttons helps to manage the Tree, expanding it, collpasing, saving, loading or clearing.
