About Text Highlights

The Text Highlights visualization is a graphical representation of the data collected from the Highlight question type. It colors each word in the interactive text portion of your question with a different shade of color depending on the number of times that word was selected. Words selected more often show up darker than others.

Display Options

You have two settings under the Display Options list in the editing pane. Some of these options will be enabled by default, but you can enable any combination of these to achieve your desired visualization:

  • Invert Low Contrast Font Colors: When selected, this setting changes the color of the text from black to white for words that are selected often in order to make the text easier to see.
