Examples using the CANVAS in the CAWI scripting language

The canvas (table) provides a way of referring to and operating on the different elements of question responses (the response labels and data entry/selection buttons).

The elements of question responses can be treated as if laid out in a table and the elements referred to using the row and column numbers of that table.

Amongst other things the canvas can be used to:

  • move rows or columns
  • prevent rows and/or columns from being displayed
  • to move and/or copy table cells
  • set styles for particular elements
