Word length chart
Choose Word Length Chart on the View Menu to see a graph of the frequencies by length of all words in the source text. The graph reflects the words currently displayed in the Wordlist View, so you can view a new graph after selecting words to see the effect of the selection on frequencies.
The Chart's X-axis shows word length in letters. The Y-axis shows the numbers of such words.
The labels at the top of each bar on the chart show the numbers of words (as on the Y-axis) but can be switched to show the percentage of the whole text which such words represent. Switching is done using the button labelled 'Number/Percent'.
The white box at the right of the chart also shows how many words there are of length 1, length 2, length 3, and so on.
Do the same towards the top right corner to undo the zoom.
Hold down the right mouse button and move to re-position the chart.
You can print the chart as required.
The Word Length Chart does not display any data if no concordance is loaded.
You can paste the Word Length Chart to another Windows program which can accept pictures, such as Microsoft Word. To copy, hold the Alt key and press the Print Screen key. Then paste into Word.
