Creating K Means Elbow Plots with Dataiku DSS

@Alex_Reutter

In several places on the Dataiku website when talking about the evaluation of KMeans Clustering models there are descriptions of elbow plots.

An Elbow plot with k of Kmeans across the bottom (on x axis) and sum of squared of distances on y axis.   There is an overlaid cloud with these words. " How do I make this plot with Dataiku DSS?"An Elbow plot with k of Kmeans across the bottom (on x axis) and sum of squared of distances on y axis. There is an overlaid cloud with these words.

Here are some of the locations of these references.

However, when creating several kMeans models, using DSS's visual model creation.  I don't see, or have not yet found the way to easily produce this tool that seems important to creating good kMeans Models.

Can someone explain the best and fastest way of creating this plot with DSS.  Thanks.

Would be nice to create this plot through the visual designer.  Today, looks like the only way to do it is manually through a code notebook.

This is the code needed for the elbow visualizer:
