Flowerbed is a simple visualization tool for viewing up to two documents. Each document is presented as a “flowerbed”, wherein each word is a flower. The height of the flower is determined by the relative frequency of that word within the document. The petals on each flower represent features associated with the word. When two documents are present in chosen the corpus, the second is mirrored below the first. In this way it is possible to do a cursory comparison of the documents.
