Changing Chart Colors

You can change the default color applied to a legend item in a chart. You may want to change the chart colors if, for instance, legend items that are adjacent in the chart have similar colors.

Note     If legacy coloring is enabled (see the "Setting Chart Colors" topic), this option is not available.

Note     You can create and apply your own color sets globally. See the "Setting Chart Colors" topic.

  1. Generate a report. A Report view appears, displaying the report.
  2. Right-click on an item in the legend. A popup menu appears, see Figure 5-12.

  3. From the menu, select either Edit Color (this chart only) or Edit Entity Color. The former option changes the color temporarily for this chart only, the latter makes the change persistent for all current and future charts. A color palette appears, see Figure 5-13.

  4. Choose a new color from the palette.
  5. Close the palette. The new color is applied in the chart to the selected variable.

If you chose Edit Entity Color at Step 3, the new color is applied to all open charts, except those using temporary colors.
