It is possible to display only a subset of sources fulfilling specified constraints by clicking
on "Filter sources" menu item in the "data" tab, in the Breadcrumb trail. The actual result of this
selection will be a cloud of languages with different colours.
The "count records" and "count sources" radio buttons select the way the
cloud will be displayed, the colours varying either by number of sources
or by number of records.
At the right of the display is a list of the fields on which the constraints may apply.
At the left of the display are two horizontal scroll bars with two checkboxes. The top one allows to specify the filling ratio of the selected field (from 15% to 100%).
For example, you may choose to display only those sources where the CLS (noun class singular) field has a filling ratio of more than 50%.
The bottom scroll bar allows to filter sources according to the number of records they contain.
You can choose one ratio, both, or none. If the "fill ratio" checkbox is not selected, the selected field will serve as a mere filter: only the sources where this field is not empty will be displayed. For example, if you select the STO (tone pattern) field, then only languages where this field is not empty, hence only tone languages, will be displayed.
For example, you can filter sources which contain more than 1500 records with a tone pattern (STO).
