When you select the output option 'Graph Table' AmCAT provides you with a list of options for this particular function (see Figure 6.4.1).

The output option Graph/Table in the Query search is the last of three main functions of automatic content analysis in AmCAT. The Table/Graph function enables you to produce various kinds of frequency lists or cross-tables and graph them visually. This function can be very useful to get a first impression of how your topics of interest have evolved over time or media.

Time for an example! Again, we will use the article set called 'Wikinews articles for terror*', an article set with all Wikinews articles including the word 'terror' from November 2004 until January 2015. Let's say we want to measure attention for Israel and Palestine in these Wikinews articles per year. We enter 'isreal' and 'palestine' on seperate rows in the Keyword Search string(s) field. We select the output option 'Graph/Table'. Next, we select 'Date' for the X-axis and select 'Year' for the date interval. For the Y-axis, we select 'Search Term'. When we select 'Table' as the outpute type and click 'Submit', we get the table displayed in Figure 6.4.2. When we select 'Graph' as the output type and click 'Submit', we get the graph displayed in Figure 6.4.3.
Het valt op dat (...) Als we specifieken zouden willen kijken, bijvoorbeeld naar hoe de aandacht binnen een jaar verdeeld is, dan kunnen we Month selecteren in plaats van jaar bij de Data interval. Dit zou dus een lijst produceren die twaalf keer zo lang is. Welke tijd interval handig is hangt af van jouw specifieke interesse en de tijdspanne van de artikelen in jouw article set. Hetzelfde geldt voor de keuze voor een table of een grafiek.
Het valt op dat zodra we op submit drukken een niuewe button verschijnt: Export aggregation
