Follow-up to #28, which merged before this commit landed: it replaces the three-parameter screenshot with a two-parameter one (a value list and a date) and adds a zoomed crop of the DC header and FILTER line.

  • img/va-report-filters.png - SOME_DROPDOWN = Option 2 and SOME_DATE = 12FEB1960 reaching one object, with FILTER : ( ( SOME_DROPDOWN = 'Option 2' AND SOME_DATE = '12FEB1960'd ) ) and the single matching row.
  • img/va-report-filter-line.png - crop of that header and filter line, so the date literal is legible: a date parameter is rendered as a SAS date literal, the same as a date filter built inside Data Controller.

The three-parameter shot read badly because VA's prompt containers show only the parameter label - the selected values only become visible in the FILTER line, so the picture appeared to have one value selected. Two parameters plus the crop make that legible.

mkdocs build --clean completes and both images render.

Replaces the three-parameter screenshot with a two-parameter one - a value
list and a date - and adds a zoomed crop of the DC header and FILTER line.

The date parameter arrives as a display date and is rendered as a SAS date
literal ('12FEB1960'd), the same as a date filter built inside Data
Controller. That is worth showing because VA's own prompt containers in the
report header show only the parameter label: the FILTER line is where the
selected values are legible.

Reviewed the full base...head diff - docs/visual-analytics.md wording plus one new and one replaced screenshot. The rewritten two-parameter example, its alt text, and the new date-literal paragraph all match the surrounding section: the added paragraph sits at the same indent level as its neighbours, '12FEB1960'd is described as a display date rendered to a SAS date literal, and img/va-report-filter-line.png is added at the path the link uses.

Scope note: both PNGs are binary, so their visual content cannot be assessed from the diff.

No blocking issues.
