= Overview =
Data Visualisations are a very powerful tool. They take any closed question (list/menu, radio button, check box, number list), counts up the total answers and can then draw bar charts and pie charts based on those figures.

Sometimes however the default representations of some items are too limited, so BE allows you to override the default displays with your own customisations.
Modifications are made through:
blShowBar=false;strListing=AlphabeticAZ;strLimit=5;
The bar chart would not show, the listing would be aphabetic from A to Z and only the top 5 items would be shown.
Here are the options currently available.
= Show | Hide Elements =
By default both bar and pie chart will be shown. You can turn one or both off if required.
=User Defined Drawing Options = Custom options that the user can implement to completely customise the report to meet there needs. * strCustomTitle=Demo Title One // A user defined title for the visualisation charts* intCustomHeight=200 // A user defined height for the visualisation charts (number should be in px) = Listing ==
With lists with lots of items in them, the sorting of the elements can become very important
For VERY long lists, it may be more advisable to limit to a specific amount of answers, like the top 10. The limit option allows you to specify exactly how many items to limit to.
In some cases it may be desirable to set specific palette colours. This option allows a custom suite of colours to be set for the values.

=== Horizontal Check Box ===
bxp allows for the question type "Basic - Check Box Horizontal" to have the check boxes sorted in Ascending order vertically, by default the answer values are arranged in the order that they have been added to the question and they are added horizontal.
This default ordering can be changed by simply adding the following into the visualisation options of the question
* strSortOption=Vertical;
