Remarks

The type is determined by the TypeId property, which typically is one of the VisualTypeIdentifiers. By setting the TypeId property, the visual is converted to the new type. Since the user can convert any visual at any time via the user interface, the TypeId must always be determined before calling As T to get the specific visualization (or text area) type. Although the visualization methods and properties are sometimes declared on abstract base classes such as TablePlotBase and TrellisVisualization, always use the concrete visualization classes, such as BarChart, directly.
