Scatter chart questions - how to change the anchor colors automatically

[amdy789]

Hi All,

 

 

 

I have a few questions for scatter charts:

 

 

 

1) when I change the palette attribute number, it doesn't change anything

 

2) by default, all the points for different datasets render anchor borders in different colors. This is nice, but how can I make the background in different colors as well? Now it renders as transparent. I understand that I can make any colors manually by changing anchorBgColor. But what if a total number of points is 50-60? How can I force the color changing automatically?

 

 

 

What I need is to render all anchors in different colors and make them solid (not just a border)

 

 

 

Thank you!

Hello Amdy,

1) when I change the palette attribute number, it doesn't change anything

The palette attribute number ranges from 1-5. What it does is change the background color theme of the chart and it's font color theme.

I've checked this attribute in our Labs and could not replicate your issue.  Could you please send you XML code so that we may have a look at what may be going wrong?

2) by default, all the points for different datasets render anchor borders in different colors. This is nice, but how can I make the background in different colors as well? Now it renders as transparent. I understand that I can make any colors manually by changing anchorBgColor. But what if a total number of points is 50-60? How can I force the color changing automatically?

Unfortunately, you can only specify the color for the anchors in the <dataset> element and not for the individual <set> element, as of now.

(Ref: http://www.fusioncharts.com/docs/Contents/ChartSS/Scatter.html)

However, you have attain solid colors of the achors by specifying the same Hex color code for both the color and the anchorBgColor attributes in the <dataset> element of the scatter chart, like so:

 <dataset.... color='3399FF' anchorBgColor='3399FF' ....>

I hope this helps.
