Pyramid's data visualization engine offers users a huge range of core visualizations, as well as the ability to create custom visuals. Each core visualization can be tweaked by adjusting the chips in the drop zones. Pyramid also offers tremendous flexibility when it comes to formatting, which can be leveraged to significantly change the look and feel of each visualization.
Selecting a Visualization
There are a few ways to select or change the data visualization; they may be selected from the canvas of a new data discovery, from the visualization toolbox panel, or from the Discover ribbon.
New Canvas
When opening a new data discovery, the new canvas features icons representing several data visualizations. You may drag a dimension, hierarchy, or measure onto any of these icons to start building the given visualizations.
In this example, the Manufacturer hierarchy was dropped on the bar chart icon; the hierarchy was automatically added to the Categories drop zone, and once a measure was added, the bar chart was rendered.
Visualization Toolbox
Once your query contains a dimension, hierarchy, or measure, the Toolbox is shown to the left of the canvas. You can change the visualization applied to your query here (red highlight below). For more information about the visualization items and the other tools in the Toolbox, see Discover Pro Toolbox
To select a visualization, right-click the main visualization icon then select the visualization type you require from the sub-menu. For example, the following image shows how you would change your visualization into a Layered Map by right-clicking Maps in the Toolbox, then Layered Map on the sub-menu (orange arrow below):
Report Ribbon
You can also select a visualization from the Change Visual menu in the Report ribbon.
