I was wondering if you were able to change the color of the datatext (not the bar) in a graph, unique to the series.
The quick chart in advanced graph assist, does it for all series.

The highlighted code below against the car file, shows what I’m trying to do, but 7703 just ignores it.


Any suggestions?

Hi Waz and Mary,

This is the code you need;

  
setFillColor(getDataText(1),new Color(218,165,32));
setFillColor(getDataText(2),new Color(0,0,255));
setFillColor(getDataText(0),new Color(128,0,255));
 

The (1), (2), and (0) are the series numbers.

Hope it helps.

P.S. you can't do this from the GUI, you have to add the code.

Thank you, I had something similar above (the highlighting did not carry through), but my did not work, while yours did, so....., again thank you!

I did find that if you also have setDataTextFormat(28); (which prints the datatext values as percentages disables the color)
