combination paths

Named categorical alternatives fill factor columns. Distinct keyed paths select exactly one alternative in every column, and repeated selection keys preserve combination identity where paths meet.

When to use it

For morphological exploration of explicitly selected combinations: an event format combining audience, experience and delivery; a meal concept combining base, flavor and service; or a training offer combining cohort, format and pace. Unlike numeric parallel coordinates, positions are categorical alternatives with no magnitude, score or rank. A path states a supplied combination, never compatibility, feasibility or a preferred option. Not for inferred selections, weighted scoring or measured profiles.

Adjust after generating

Change the style, colors, and font, and these options, as often as you like without spending credits.
