User (Legacy) Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Is there a way to get the colors that will be assigned by a built-in color palette before they are automatically assigned to a Series. Something like a Palette.GetNextColor() call? I need to retain colors for each Series in a Chart. To do so, I would like to resolve conflicts by assigning colors from the current Palette. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Dear Judd, I am a little confused as to what your problem is. "I would like to resolve conflicts by assigning colors from the current Palette" We handle all the assigning of the colors ourselves. Conflicts within ChartFX? Do you want to get the colors from the palette to use outside of the chart? -c "judd" <judd@protosw.com> wrote in message news:1gYtdCSxFHA.1764@webserver3.softwarefx.com... > Is there a way to get the colors that will be assigned by a built-in color > palette before they are automatically assigned to a Series.

User (Legacy) Posted October 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 I am having a similar issue. Because the DataEditor Table Format Transposes When changing from Bottom to Right (see my earlier post regarding this issue) I have to build my own version of the DataEditor. I would like to allow the chart to build itself (Bind to a DataTable) and then build a grid where I match-up the colors that were chosen by ChartFx. A couple of questions: 1. Is there any way to know what order colors are chosen by the ChartFx binding mechanism? 2. How do I know exactly what System.Drawing.Color.* corresponds to the colors in each ChartFx pallete? I have attached a picture of what I am trying to accomplish.

Software FX Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Dear Kent, The API you can use with a PIE chart to get the colors is like this chart1.Point[0].Color for Pie the color will come from the Point but bar and lines from from chart1.Series[0].Color However, there is an undocumented way to do this if you cast the chart to an IContainerX see snippet: SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Extensions.IContainerX iContainerX = (SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Extensions.IContainerX)chart1; // Method A -- will give you all the palette colors of which the first 16 are colors used to paint the bars/lines... Color[] colors = iContainerX.GetPaletteColors(); // Method B -- You can ask for the Attributes for a particular Series and Point SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Base.AttributesBase attribBase = iContainerX.GetAttributesBase(0,0, null); Color clr = attribBase.m_clrFore; The above code is subject to change and is provided as is. -c "Kent Bejcek" <kent@bejcek.com> wrote in message news:pb$CRajyFHA.3776@webserver3.softwarefx.com...
