# Display types

*Learn how to toggle the data visualization in your analyses.*

This article describes the various options that the Tulip Analytics Editor provides to customize the **display options** used for an analysis.

You may also wish to [change the **structure** of the analysis](https://support.tulip.co/docs/how-to-use-the-display-dropdown-in-the-analytics-editor), or [change the **data** being displayed using the left-hand Context Pane](https://support.tulip.co/docs/intro-to-analytics-builder).

## How To Use the "Display" Dropdown in the Analytics Editor

In general, you can open the **Display** dropdown from the Toolbar:

Not all display options will be available for every configuration of templates and data. The Analytics Editor will automatically display only the display options appropriate for the current analysis.

## Visualization Types

Analyses can be configered many different visualization types, such as bar charts or line types. Each template has a different set of possible visualization types associated with it.

The display options dropdown will show you the chart types available for the analysis you have built. Below is a summary of the different chart types, and when they will be available. You can find more information about the different templates available [here](https://intercom.help/tulip-interfaces/analytics/chart-types/chart-template-types).
