Is there multi-dimensional scaling support in rapidminer?

what is multi-dimensional scaling? Can you explain what you want to achieve? If it is that what I assume the answer is: yes.
Cheers,

By multidimensional scaling (MDS) I mean this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multidimensional_scaling
For example, here is the Matlab version:
http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/stats/mdscale.html
It has a distance matrix as an input and it maps all the points usually to 2D/3D.
It is an old technique, but there is still active research on it. A unified solution was presented at KDD 2010:

I think it would be a great addition to RapidMiner.
