The tool allows one to set<br \/>\nany of the witnesses as the base text, to add or remove witness texts,<br \/>\nto switch the base text at will, and to annotate the comparisons and<br \/>\nsave the results.<br \/>\nJuxta comes with several kinds of analytic visualizations.  The basic<br \/>\ncollation gives a split frame comparison of a base text and a witness<br \/>\ntext along with a display of the digital images from which the base text<br \/>\nis derived.  Juxta provides a heat map of all textual variants and<br \/>\nallows the user to locate at the level of any textual unit all witness<br \/>\nvariations from the base text.  A histogram of the collations is<br \/>\nparticularly useful for long documents.  It displays the density of all<br \/>\nvariation from the base text and serves as a useful finding aid for<br \/>\nspecific variants.  Juxta can also output a lemmatized schedule in html<br \/>\nof the textual variants in any set of comparisons.<br \/>\nThis release of the tool comes with demonstration examples from Dante<br \/>\nGabriel Rossetti, Shakespeare, and Walter Pater.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;ve set up a blog for commentary and exchange:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.patacriticism.org\/juxta\/<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re keen to support a user community around the software and to hear<br \/>\nfrom you about both its  successes and deficiencies.
