Under the Format paintbrush, you will find there are very few settings that can be adjusted for this visual.

  • In the Settings section, you can adjust the following:
    • Maximum columns (for grid) – Allows you to adjust how many images are showing per row when using the grid view.
    • Minimum width for higher quality images – Use this when you have higher resolution images to adjust the width for each.
    • Top list weight (for circle top list) – Allows you to adjust how the top list is weighted when you select that render type.
    • Render type – Gives you the ability to switch between top list circles, weighted circles and grid views.

You can also adjust the background color, add a border around the visual and lock the aspect ratio under the Format section.
