When creating a pie chart I have three possible values breaking out into slices. When all three come back, they are populated with the colors in series 0, 1, and 2 respectively and all is fine. But when only two values come back, they populate with the colors in series 0 and 1 and could have different colors then before. I'd like to keep the colors consistant when either 1 or 2 values are missing. Is there a way to assign actual breakdown values to the series colors?

Can you post your code on what you're trying to do?

Thanks,

Thanks!

There is probably a simpler way, but I would suggest setting the colours for the series by each value of the BY field.

e.g.

DEFINE FILE CRITHOLD
FillColour/A11 = DECOODE SRVY_RCMN_STAT_NA(Val0 '58,88,142' Val1 '106,138,195' Val2 '179,194,223' ELSE '127,127,127') ;
END
TABLE FILE CRITHOLD
SUM MAX FillColour
BY SRVY_RCMN_STAT_NA NOPRINT
ON TABLE SAVE AS SETCOL
END
-RUN
-SET &SerCnt = &LINES - 1 ;
.
.
.
GRAPH FILE
.
.
.
ON GRAPH SET
.
.
.
-REPEAT ColVars FOR &Series FROM 0 TO &SerCnt ;
-READ SETCOL &Colour.A11.
-SET &Colour = TRUNCATE(&Colour) ;
setFillColor(getSeries(&Series),new Color(&Colour));
-ColVars
.
.
.
ENDSTYLE
END
