# Visualizations How-To

### 1. Create a New Visualization <a href="#create-a-new-visualization" id="create-a-new-visualization"></a>

Once your query has finished running for the first time, you can add a visualization by clicking the “New Visualization” button above the results table.

### 2. Edit A Visualization

You can modify the settings of an existing visualization from the query editor screen. Click the visualization on the tab bar and you’ll see an `Edit Visualization` option beneath each visualization. Clicking it will open the current settings for that visualization (type, X axis, Y axis, groupings etc.). Hit “Save” to apply your changes or “Cancel” to leave no trace.

### 3. Embedding Visualizations

It’s easy to embed visualizations. Just click the ellipsis button beneath any visualization to show further options and select `Embed Elsewhere`.

This will pop up the `<iframe>` code you can drop into your HTML pages.

**PNG image Embeds**

For SaaS customers, there is also a hardlink to a PNG of your visualization hosted through `snap.redash.io`. The PNG embed is especially useful in contexts where iframes won’t work (like GitHub issues). If you need the visualization PNG to include a `Cache-Control: no-cache` header, just tack the Query String variable `?no-cache` to the end of your PNG embed link.

**Query String Variables for Embeds**

You can append query string variables to your embed URLs:

* `?hide_parameters` hides any parameter selection widgets
* `?hide_timestamp` hides the timestamp

**Downloading A Visualization as an Image File**

For chart visualizations, you can also download a local image file. Just hover your mouse near the top right area of the visualization and click the camera icon that appears. A PNG will be downloaded to your device.
