In this dialog you can specify the colors and the colors order for a chart.
You can select between different default color sets, Default Color, Black & White and Classic Color. You can duplicate and edit the standard color sets to create your own custom colors set. Also you can save and remove custom color sets with the buttons among the list.
Drag a color to colorize an other bar inside of the color set, double click on a bar to change the color and transperency. Remove and add color bars with the buttons among the color bars. The maximum number of colors for a set is 33.
NOTE: Only custom color sets can be changed, duplicate a default color set to create a custom color set.
Change the transparency for chart color and outlines.
Note: Transparent charts are not supported by all export formats, and in some instances can also cause printing of the report to become quite slow.
Colorize by series or by groups.
In this dialog you can specify a color formula for a chart.
This property is provided only for Bar, Pie, Ring and 3D charts.
You can use color constants and the formatting functions:
CurrentFieldValue (current y value) and DefaultAttribute (default color for current chart item).
if (CurrentFieldValue < 2000) then DefaultAttribute // let the chart items with value less 2000 unchanged else if (CurrentFieldValue < 3000) then crred // draw chart items with value between 2000 and 3000 red else cryellow // draw other items yellow Note that the function rgb(number,number,number) // is very useful for creating a color via formula.
To improve the visual appearance of your bar, area or pie charts, it is possible to define a vertical or horizontal color gradient.
Show the same group values (bar) in the same color if this chart is in group header.
