When you've created a report (see [Create a Nexus Insight report](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NexusInsight/pages/163691998)), you can view all data and media within it. This includes synchronized playback of video(s), 3D visualization (see [Play back video and 3D visualization in Nexus Insight](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NexusInsight/pages/163681211)) and graphs.

In Nexus Insight you can visualize graphs for:

- Kinematics
- Moments
- Powers
- Forces
- EMG: raw or root mean square (rms)
- Trajectories

Nexus Insight report templates dictate which graphs and graph settings are displayed in a report. 

- **To view all the graphs that you can display for a particular trial**, see [View all graphs for a trial](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NexusInsight/pages/163683529).
- **To change which graphs are shown and the way in which they're displayed**, you can select a different report template or change the options for displaying the graphs (see [Customize a Nexus Insight report](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NexusInsight/pages/163691354)) and, if none of the standard (supplied) templates contain the required display options, you can create your own template (see [Create a Nexus Insight report template](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NexusInsight/pages/163690294)).
- **To change the the graphs for an open report**, click **Edit** (top right). In the **Edit report** dialog, you can change options such as line colors and widths, as well as which graphs are shown and what is displayed along the x-axis. For more information, see [Customize a Nexus Insight report](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NexusInsight/pages/163691354).
- **For information on how to interact with the graphs** that are displayed in Nexus Insight, see [Mouse and keyboard actions for graphs](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NexusInsight/pages/163691492).

## X-axis normalization

In a report, when you select **Cycle (%)** (see [Change the x-axis display](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NexusInsight/pages/163691354/Customize+a+Nexus+Insight+report#X_Axis)), the x-axis is normalized to one event cycle. For example, for left side gait data, it starts at a left foot strike. For right side data, it starts at a right foot strike.

For this to work, cycle events must have been defined in the original trial (see [Ensure spatiotemporal parameters are defined](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NexusInsight/pages/163691157/Prepare+your+data+in+Nexus#EventDefinition)).

> ℹ️ **Note**  
> ℹ️ If a Foot Strike event is not found in the C3D file, the Cycle Start event is used for event visualization. If neither event is present in the C3D file, the data is not normalized into event cycles.

If no cycle events are defined, when you select the **Cycle (%)** option, Nexus Insight displays a message that warns you that no cycle events are defined.
