This menu changes what the visualization will show.

”Laureates” will show information about persons who were nominated for the Nobel Prize and later became Nobel Laureates. Note that this is naturally far from all Nobel Laureates, since the nominations are kept secret for 50 years.

”Nominees” will show data about persons who were nominated for the Nobel Prize.

”Nominators” will show information about persons who have nominated other persons for the Nobel Prize.
