The clusters do not take into account the exact calculated distances, but only their projection on the two-dimensional surface.
The positions of the codes on the map are taken into account for the group identification.

– Determines the color of the code symbols: Increase and decrease font size – Adjusts the font size of the code names\subcode names. to adapt it to the font used in your publication. Size of code symbols reflects code frequency – The more frequently a code is used, the larger its symbol will be displayed.įont size reflects code frequency – The more frequently a code is used, the larger its name will be displayed.įont – Select a font for the display, e.g. These are the three options mentioned above:Īnalyzed relation of codes – Intersection of codes in a segment.Īnalyzed relation of codes – Proximity of codes in same document.Īnalyzed relation of codes – Codes occur in same document.Ĭhanging these similarity settings recalculates the display of your code map.ĭisplay code frequencies - Displays the code frequency in the analyzed documents after the code name\subcode name. The first three symbols allow you to set what aspect is analyzed to determine the similarity between two codes. You can use the toolbar at the top to adjust various settings for your code map.
(2) Several codes may be placed at the same position on the map if their similarity to other codes is identical. Please note: If a code selected in the options dialog box does not occur together with any other selected code, it will not be placed on the code map. Optionally, the connection lines are displayed thicker the more coincidences there are between two codes. In addition, connecting lines between the codes can be activated, which indicate which codes overlap or co-occur. Colors can be used to highlight groupings (clusters). As a further option, the larger the circles the more code assignments have been made with that code. If necessary, restrict your analysis to currently activated documents only.Ĭlick on OK and MAXQDA will open an accordingly generated code map:Įach circle symbolizes a code, with the distances between two codes representing how similarly the codes have been applied in the data material.The location of the two codes is irrelevant they must both have been assigned at least once in the document. You can also enter the maximum distance in relevant number dial.Ĭode occurrence in same document – Counts the number of documents in which two codes occur. Proximity of codes in same document – Counts the number of times two codes were assigned at a definable distance in the same document or in the same media file. Intersecting codes are sufficient they do not have to cover 100% of the same area. Intersection of codes in a segment – Counts the number of times two codes have been assigned to a segment together. Select one of the following three options, which determine what aspect should be analyzed to determine the similarity between two codes: You can also activate codes and transfer them directly to the dialog box via the Insert activated codes button. Use your mouse to drag all the codes from the "Code System" that you want to place on the code map into the upper area of the dialog box.
