Introduction

There is a saying that a picture paints a thousand words. Whether this is true, there is no doubt that pictures and images, often, far better describe information than words and numbers alone.

Text and numerical data can often be better represented as graphical charts and images often provide a quick way to compare data values. Images can also provide a more visually powerful style of message delivery for what can otherwise be overlooked static text or numbers.

In this chapter, the recipes are designed to enhance the user interface and provide features and functionality for visually displaying information that is not provided natively within Salesforce.
