Trying something radical
In this section, we are going to try a different kind of visualization for visualizing an iSAX index, just in case it reveals any extra kind of information. So, we are going to use a Radial Tree structure instead of a regular tree. For that, we need to go to the TreeRadialTidy directory inside the ch06 directory and replace the JSON file found in the files directory with 100k.json – the correct file is already there. However, if you want to use your own data, you should update that file.
Next, we should run the Python HTTP server and point our web browser to http://localhost:8000/. The generated output is presented in Figure 6.5:
Figure 6.5 – Using a Radial Tree structure
What kind of information can we get from Figure 6.5? Is that better than a regular tree structure? I do not know whether it is better or not, but it surely presents the same information in a totally new way!
One advantage of the radial tree...
