Each item of the menu bar contains different submenus. These are the
different options available:
- File Menu
- New Experiment: creates a new experiment. This option is also available
from the tool bar via the button
.
- Load Experiment: opens an existing experiment. In the open dialog
box, select a filename, and click Open. Experiments files usually have
the extension .exp. This option is also available
from the tool bar via the button
.
- Save Experiment: saves the current experiment to a file. If it is
the first time that the experiment is saved, you will be asked about destination
path. This option is also available
from the tool bar via the button
.
- Save Experiment As: saves current experiment in a file. In the
save dialog box, introduce the destination path where the file will be
saved.
- Exit: closes the experiment design software. If the experiment
has not been saved yet, you can do it at this moment.
- View Menu
- Status Bar: shows/hides the status bar (at the bottom of the windows).
It is activated initially.
- Grid: shows/hides the alignment grid. In order to make easy the alignment
of the elements inserted in the draw area, it is better to activate it since it will help you to create elegant designs.
- Help Panel: shows/hides the help panel. It is activated initially. This option is also available
from the tool bar via the button
.
- DataSets/Algorithm: shows/hides the panel containing the datasets/algorithms. It is activated initially. This option is also available
from the tool bar via the button
.
- Edit Menu
- Undo: with this option user can undo some executed actions. This
option is also available from the tool bar via the button
.
- Redo: with this option user can redo some undone actions.This
option is also available from the tool bar via the button
.
- Select: allows users to select one or more elements in the draw
area. This
option is also available from the tool bar via the button
.
- Tools Menu
- Insert Dataflow: allows to connect algorithm outputs (or dataset)
to the inputs of another algorithm, creating a data flow that will be
run later. This
option is also available from the tool bar via the button

- Import algorithm KEEL packet: in order to insert an user's method, select
this option and explore the path to choose the method.
- Snapshot: it is possible to save the experiment design in an image
format file (JPEG). This way allows you to insert it in any document,
article, etc... TThis
option is also available from the tool bar via the button
- Run Experiment: when experiment is finished, use this option
to create a ZIP file containing a directory structure with all the
files needed to run the designed experiment in the local computer
selected by the user. This option is also available from the tool bar via the button
.
- Seed: sets up the value of the seed used by the random number generator. If there
is any algorithm (inserted in the experiment) that needs to generate random
numbers, it will take in a seed created from the initial seed value. This
seed can be established automatically or you can insert a
value manually. This is shown at the following picture:
- Help Menu
- Content: show a help dialog that contains information about how
to use this program.
- About ... : shows a dialog with basic information about the program
as name, authors, version, etc...
