I'm currently putting together a course that tracks four different running totals. I'd like to display these as some kind of chart on the results slide. I can draw a chart out using shapes, but I'd need to have the values of the four running total variables affect the dimensions of the shapes somehow. Either size or position on screen. Is there any way to do this? I'm using Articulate Storyline 2.
Thanks Walt! The sample helps. I was hoping for something a little more granular than this: each running total value can be anything from 10 to 40. Using this as a template, I would need to have 31 different states for each of 4 shapes, and triggers to show each one (unless I'm missing something). Not impossible, but I was hoping for some kind of formula option where the shape resizes itself based on a variable value. I may have to add questions to this quiz in the future, which could potentially mean a lot of rework to this solution.

Use states and triggers.
Change the state of the objects when the timeline starts depending on the value passed to the result slide.
The attached sample gives a couple of options.

Yeah, if you want that kind of detail, maybe you want to use sliders.
See the attached.
Thanks again Walt! Sliders worked as a bar graph, which works for me!
Ooh, maybe we can use the slider strategy for our progress bar (which we only want to count certain slides). Thanks Walt!
Glad that this thread was able to help you out as well Griz :) Thanks for chiming in to share.
