+Visualizer
+
+
+The Visualizer presents data from .feat and .edl files in a variety of
+graphical formats. Mouse over a chunk to inspect its data in the "chunk data"
+frame on the left side of the screen. Click on chunks to select/deselect.
+Click and drag to select regions. Shift + click to add to selection.
+
+
+The available visualizers are:
+
+
+-
+segement order: segments and feature values from the .feat file are at the
+top of the screen, segments and features from the corresponding .edl file are at the
+bottom. Multi-dimensional features are presented spectrogram style. The .feat file
+chunks are drawn in their original time order. The .edl chunks are drawn in their
+composed time order. A line is drawn from each .feat chunk to the corresponding .edl
+chunk (which is the same chunk shifted in time). "multi lines" and "thick lines" are
+just candy.
+
+-
+scatter plot: features are mapped to drawing parameters (x axis, y axis, height,
+width, color) and each chunk is drawn in the appropriate place. You might, for example,
+map start time to the x axis and pitch to the y axis to display pitch contours over time.
+
+-
+bar graph: one bar graph is drawn for each feature. "show" allows you to display
+the chunks in their original .feat time order or in their composed .edl time order.
+"height" allows you to map different values (start time, dest time, length, features)
+ onto the height parameter.
+
+-
+line graph: really stupid!
+
+
+
+General controls:
+
+
+-
+visualization type: select which visualization technique to use
+
+-
+load files: select and load a new .feat and .edl file (you can also
+load just a .feat file if you choose.)
+
+-
+save .feat/.edl: saves the selected chunks to a new .feat or .edl file
+
+-
+synthesizer: plays selected chunks in either .feat or .edl order.
+
+-
+zoom: zooms!
+
+-
+selection controls: mostly self-explanatory. "apply selection filter" allows you
+to select chunks numerically.
