What do the axes represent in the cluster graph?
Good question! I have no idea, personally I've never found the cluster graph to impart any really helpful info. I just know that if the dots are close then the program thinks the translations are similar.
According to the video for the original Libronix add-in, it does not matter what is left or right / up or down. Only the closeness of the dots matters. If some are close, the translators used common language. The further apart the dots are, the translations are less alike in choice of words used.

If you use the 3D view it will show you at the bottom "x of y words in common" and "% difference". I don't find it much help but I'm sure someone has a valid use for it. :-)

I guess it goes to show how much I use it [:D]
When I first went to it today, nothing was happening (it was in 3D). I had it set to 2 Corinthians 2:1. I changed it to Genesis and everything started moving and stuff. Anyhow, from what I can tell is when the line connects two translations, the X of Y words applies to those two translations and the spacing is still for all translations. I really don't think that my studies will be too dependent on the cluster graph but it is kind of neat.
I mostly use the mac version and I don't believe it has the 3D view yet. Good info none-the-less, thanks.
