Hello,

I am working on a bar chart that is doing a count of people for the x-axis, broken out by month on the y-axis and is colored by groups.

Example is for the month of January development team had 4 people colored blue, management team had 2 people colored red, and support team had 3 people colored green.

I am using a custom style sheet to set the series value to be each of these colors using the "series": X, "color": "#999999".

I want to keep this same color scheme but have the colors flipped. This works great for our department because I could just manually flip the colors around to get the new color scheme but if another one of our departments were to use this report that had 4 groups (development, management, support, and implementations) then the color scheme is thrown off because blue wouldn't be the last one in the series.

Example for our department the month of January development team had 4 people colored green, management team had 2 people colored red, and support team had 3 people colored blue.

Example for our other department the month of January development team had 4 people colored green, management team had 2 people colored red, and support team had 3 people colored blue, implementations team had 1 person colored orange.

Is there a way I could keep the same series color scheme but tell it to color the series in the reverse order? Essentially "series": 0, "color": "#0000FF" would be the last color to be used for the series while "series": X, "color": "#999999" would be the first value depending on the number of groups.

Thank you for any advice.

Could you do a mock up using one of the basic files, CAR or GGSALES?

Here is some sample code from the GGSALES file

For this example on our data for the first date there are 3 categories (coffee, food, gifts) thus there are three bars with the coffee bar having a product count of 1440 and a color of blue, the food bar having a product count of 1440 and a color of orange and the gifts bar having a product count of 1437 and a color of green.

There is an INCLUDE=IBFS:/FILE/IBI_HTML_DIR/javaassist/intl/EN/combine_templates/Mosaic.sty
line which is my custom style sheet in which I set the series color order to be blue, orange, green, red, etc.

"series": [
{
"series": "all",
"dataLabels": {
"visible": "auto",
"font": "7.5pt Sans-Serif",
"color": "auto"
},
"color": null,
"border": {
"width": 3
},
"marker": {
"visible": false,
"size": 10,
"border": {
"width": 2
},
"shape": "circle",
"fillEffect": "seriesFill"
}
},
{ /* Blue */
"series": 0,
"color": "#0072B2"
},
{ /* Orange */
"series": 1,
"color": "#FF6800"
},
{ /* Green */
"series": 2,
"color": "#228B22"
},
{ /* Red */
"series": 3,
"color": "#CC2529"
},

For the above example I know I could manually switch this series order around to be green, orange, blue and the colors are switched, however, the problem is what if for me I only have those 3 categories but what if for another person on my team they had a 4th category that was toys.

With this 4th category then the color scheme ends up being green, orange, blue, red but I want the color scheme to be red, green, orange, blue. While I could set the series order then to be red, green, orange, blue when I would run it since I only have 3 categories I would have a color scheme of red, green, orange and blue never appears but I always want blue to be the last color.

I essentially want the series color to stay in the same order but be applied in reverse the trouble is not knowing how many colors will be needed in the series as it could be 3 like the above example or for my teammate who has 4 or maybe it is 7 or 8 which the dynamic number of how many colors of the series and applying that in reverse order is where I have run into an issue.

Try this. I started with a report, did Stop Lights, then changed it to a Chart and changed a few things (TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=N2 ... WHEN=N2 GT #000000 ... COLOR=RGB(### ### ###)

Alex,
Could this help?
By changing the Region parameter, the colors flip:

  
-SET &ECHO=ALL;
-* File alexb01.fex

-DEFAULTH &Region=Southeast
-SET &S0=DECODE &Region(Midwest 0 Northeast 1 Southeast 2 West 3);
-SET &S1=DECODE &Region(Midwest 1 Northeast 2 Southeast 3 West 0);
-SET &S2=DECODE &Region(Midwest 2 Northeast 3 Southeast 0 West 1);
-SET &S3=DECODE &Region(Midwest 3 Northeast 0 Southeast 1 West 2);
