Attribute Data Types

Each attribute has values that are one of three data types: continuous, binary, or categorical.

Continuous : these values are integers or floating point numbers that contain a range of numbers. These values are represented with graduated colors from dark grey to yellow.

Categorical : these values have three or more string values. Each category is mapped to a unique color for display.

Binary : these values have only two values, either zero and one, or any two string values. String values are mapped to colors in the colormap just like a categorical attribute, while zeros and ones use the default colors of dark grey and yellow. An attribute created by selecting nodes has binary data with values of one and zero.
