2.5 Exploring the corpus

After corpus loading, the corpus exploration button in the toolbar (leftmost button, right neighbour of the corpus hotkey) is activated. Pressing this button will open the TIGERGraphViewer which visualizes the corpus graphs (cf. section 7). So you can browse through the corpus without processing corpus queries. This feature is very helpful if you are not familiar with a corpus and its annotations.

Please note: You can easily switch between the TIGERSearch main window and the GraphViewer window using the shortcut buttons in the lower left corner of both windows. If you press a shortcut button, the corresponding window will be moved in front of all other windows on your desktop.
