MentiPlus Extension

Allows you to customise result displays in the online voting platform Mentimeter. Right-click (or ctrl-click) on a graph column or some axis text to bring forward a contextual menu with formatting options. The contextual menu also offers a link to an extensive on-screen help document (also available as pdf at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mtQjLuPcNKdS0DCRbR87ye9yex_DXZEP?usp=sharing).

As of v 4.0, MentiPlus also features an Options Page, where you can select your own highlight colours, graph background colour, and contextual menu labels.

As of v 4.4, MentiPlus can be instantly disabled and re-enabled by choices from the contextual menus.

As of v 4.6, all the four layout types in the Mentimeter results view (Bars, Pie, Donut, and Dots) can be highlighted by MentiPlus. Highlight colours will be preserved when changing layout.

Version 4.11 restores MentiPlus functionality following a major restructuring of the Mentimeter page code in late 2024 which temporarily disabled MentiPlus.

This extension was developed in an educational setting to be able to highlight correct and incorrect answers by colouring the respective columns. The text formatting functionality was developed to handle the sometimes very tiny axis text generated by Mentimeter.
