When you want to use a custom-set distance file that you’ve saved before, open the Distance File widget and select the desired file with the Browse icon. This widget loads the existing distance file. In the snapshot below, we loaded the transformed Iris distance matrix from the Save Distance Matrix example. We displayed the transformed data matrix in the Distance Map widget. We also decided to display a distance map of the original Iris data set for comparison.
