VRA Visualizer List Menus and Graphs The Visualizer offers seven list menus for graph
selection.
| List Menu Name |
Description |
| Standard |
Standard graphs present overviews of basic
event counts as well as proportional event counts-based
parameters; these graphs are then used to generate the more detailed
events offered in the Civil Sector, Government Sector, WEIS and CCC
and Overlay List Menus. In the Standard event count graphs,
the time interval is located along the
x-axis and the event count is located
on the y-axis. In the normalized graphs, the time interval is located
along the x-axis and the proportion is on the y-axis.
Select from nine graph
types within the Standard list menu: All Actions, All Events, All
Violent Actions, Direct Actions, Forceful Actions, Normalized
Actions, Normalized Direct Actions, Normalized Forceful Actions, and
Normalized Violent Actions.

| Civil
Sector |
Civil Sector graphs
are used to display detailed event counts and proportions related to
civil sector activities. In the Civil Sector event count graphs, the
time interval is located along the x-axis and the event count is
located on the y-axis. In the normalized graphs, the time interval
is located along the x-axis and the proportion is on the y-axis.
Select from nine graph
types within the Civil Sector list menu: All Civil Actions, All
Civil Events, All Civil Violent Actions, Civil Direct Actions, Civil
Forceful Actions, Normalized Civil Actions, Normalized Civil Direct
Actions, Normalized Civil Forceful Actions, and Normalized Civil

graphs are used to display detailed event counts and proportions
related to government sector activities. In the event counts graphs,
the time interval is located along the x-axis and the event count is
located on the y-axis. In the normalized graphs, the time interval
is located along the x-axis and the proportion is on the y-axis.
Select from nine graph
types within the Government Sector list menu: All Government
Actions, All Government Events, All Government Violent Actions,
Government Direct Actions, Government Forceful Actions, Normalized
Government Actions, Normalized Government Direct Actions, Normalized
Government Forceful Actions, and Normalized Government Violent

Promise, Grant, Reward, Agree, Request, Propose, Reject, Accuse,
Protest, Deny, Demand, Warn, Threaten, Demonstrate, Sanction, Expel,
Seize, and Force.
|
| Goldstein |
Goldstein graphs are
used to display proportions of conflict/cooperation events in time.
Each event category is assigned a Goldstein rating, ranging from -10
(extreme conflict) to 8.3 (extreme cooperation). Zero value events
are excluded from these calculations.
Select from seven
graph types within the Goldstein list menu: Domestic Goldstein
Average, Goldstein Average, Goldstein Conflict, Goldstein
Cooperation, Goldstein Domestic, Goldstein Interstate, and
International Goldstein Average.
|
| CCC and
Overlay |
The CCC and Overlay
graphs are used to display custom tallies and
averages.
Select from seven
graphs in this list menu: CCC (Conflict Carrying Capacity) and FA
(Forceful Action), CCC Composite, Conflict Intensity, CS (Country
Stability), CS and FA (Forceful Action), Violence Signals, and World
News Attention.
|
| Normalized Actions |
The
Normalized Actions graphs are used to display the proportions of
conflict or cooperation events as compared to all actions.
