Lumi ViewPoint provides a variety of options for how the voting results of interactive questions are displayed on the slides.
These are the possible display types for each question type:
| Multiple Choice | Numeric Range |
| Bar Chart (default) | Column Chart (default) |
| Pie Chart | Table |
| Table | Calculated Values |
| Breakdown Bars (only available for multiple selection or ranking questions) | |
| Breakdown Table (only available for multiple selection or ranking questions) |
The charts are similar to the Microsoft Office Charts that are available within PowerPoint and Excel. However they are made of individual PowerPoint lines, shapes and text boxes so that they can be more easily styled and animated.
Tables are created within the standard PowerPoint tables that you can create through the 'Insert' ribbon menu. The calculated values display comprises of a group of PowerPoint text boxes. All of the display types take their initial font, layout and colour settings from the current PowerPoint presentation theme and can be styled using the regular PowerPoint formatting tools.
Bar Charts
The bar chart is the default display type for multiple choice questions. Bar charts are easy to understand and suitable when one or more choices have long descriptions.
Column Charts
The column chart is the default display type for numeric range questions. They provide a clear distribution of all responses across the voting range. When the voting range is greater than ten values then it is grouped into bands to ensure that the chart remains readable.
Pie Charts
Pie charts are most effective for questions with a small number of choices.
Tables
Both multiple choice or numeric range questions can be displayed within a PowerPoint table. Tables are more compact than charts and can be very useful when a multiple choice question has a lot of choices.
Calculated Values
The calculated values display shows sums performed on all votes received for a numericrange question, rather than the responses for each band of numbers. The following valuesare calculated:
| Sum | Description |
| Average | The average or 'mean' vote. Calculated by dividing the sum of all votesby the number of responses. |
| Median | The middle vote. Calculated by placing all votes in sequential orderfrom the lowest value to the highest, then finding the number in themiddle of that range |
| Mode | The most popular vote. Calculated by adding all matching responsestogether and finding the most common value. |
| Lowest | The lowest valid vote. |
| Highest | The highest valid vote. |
| Total | The sum of all votes. Calculated by adding all of the valid responses together. |
