Inspector

The Inspector Widget is a component in Spotlight that lets you examine and edit the features of individual data points in your dataset. With its multiple views for different modalities, the Inspector Widget provides a detailed look at a data point's underlying structure.

The Inspector Widget's views for text, audio, video, and 3D geometry data allow you to explore a data point's features in depth. You can also edit those features directly within the view, making it easy to make changes to a data point without navigating to a separate screen. The Inspector Widget is an essential tool for working with multimodal datasets and gives you greater control over the structure and quality of your data.

Info

The open source version of Renumics Spotlight allows you to inspect your data to find critical segments. The Pro version of Spotlight also enables data tagging and annotation.

By configuring the inspector view you can choose how each datapoint should be represented. The main configuration options are available in the upper right corner of the view:
