Sample Poll Result Graphs
Back to Peter's Polling Package

The Results page can be radically altered through properties on the Poll control.
You can:
  • Add, reorder, reformat, and remove elements such as the bar, answer text, vote count, and percentage.
  • Assign unique colors to each bar, have only one color, or have rotating colors.
  • Assign a graphic image instead of a color for each bar.
  • Alternate between background colors.
  • Select from four styles of bars (shown below.)
  • Set separate font styles on the question, answers, and vote count/percentage values.
  • Add a Total Votes line.
  • Entirely replace the results with a Thank You message in case you use the poll to gather internal marketing information.
This is the default appearance. Bars rotate through red, green and blue with a black border. Bars show the unused portion in white with a black border.

Bars are using a stretched image against alternating backgrounds. Question, answers, and values all are using separate fonts. Total votes is shown, right justified with its own font. The bars all use graphic images. Vote count replaces percentage and a graphic image in the background.

There are four styles of bars. The above examples all use the default style. Here are the rest.
These bars are scaled so the largest value always fills the graph. These bars place the vote count within the bar's region. The elements have been rearranged to appear side-by-side. These bars place the percentage within the bar's region.
