UMAP produces a UMAP task node. Opening the task report launches a scatter plot showing the UMAP results.  The plot will open in 2D or 3D mode depending on the user preference.  

UMAP vs. t-SNE

Both t-SNE and UMAP are dimensional reduction techniques that are useful for identifying groups of similar samples in large high-dimensional data sets. A comparison of the techniques for visualizing single cell RNA-Seq data by the authors of UMAP suggests that UMAP runs faster, is more reproducible, gives a more meaningful organization of clusters, and preserves more information about the global structure of the data than t-SNE [2].

If you are normalizing the data, choose a log base. Default is 2 when Log transform data is enabled.

Normalization: Log offset

If you are normalizing the data, choose an offset. Default is 1 when Log transform data is enabled.
