The graph shows all the positive numbers in blue color and all the negative numbers in red color. Furthermore, numbers that have binary values (1 and -1) are showed in lighter blue and lighter red respectively.

You can use the mouse to zoom into the matrix. Place the mouse cursor in the upper-left corner of the part of the matrix you want to zoom into. Hold the left mouse button down while you drag the mouse down and to the right. This will draw a box that shows the area that will be zoomed. When the box is the correct size release the left mouse button to zoom.

You can repeat the zoom several times until you reach the spreadsheet view. This will allow you to see the actual values and the names of each cell in the matrix. You can also reach the spreadsheet view by clicking with left mouse button on the part of the matrix you want to see.
