Iris Flower Parallel Coordinates Explorer

Overview

How to Use

  • View lines: Each polyline represents one flower across Sepal Length, Sepal Width, Petal Length, Petal Width. Color = species (setosa, versicolor, virginica).

  • Brush to filter: Drag vertically on any axis to select a value range; multiple brushes combine (AND filter).

  • Move/resize brushes: Drag the shaded region or its edges to adjust; click empty axis space to clear that brush.

  • Swap axis order: Click an axis label to swap it with its neighbor (cycles left ↔ right) and reanimate the lines.

  • Interpret opacity: Lines outside any active brush become faint; unfiltered lines stay prominent.

  • Reset all: Clear each brush (or reload) to return to the full dataset.
