Hi,
I'm using the BIRT chart API in Eclipse. I've created a multi-bar chart using two series (i.e. {1, 2, 3, 4} and {4, 5, 6, 3} as the y-values for some x-values). The chart is attached as image1 and shown here.
As you can see, the bars for each x-value have the same colour! What I want is for the bars for each series to have the same colour. In other words, the first bar for each x-value would be blue and the second bar for each x-value would be red. See attached "correctimage".
I have tried everything to get this to work but have not had any luck. Specifically:
- I can get all the bars to be the exact same colour by setting the entries in seriesPalette for the x-axis series definition to be the same (attached as image2):
sdX.getSeriesPalette().getEntries().clear();
sdX.getSeriesPalette().getEntries().add(ColorDefinitionImpl.create(100, 0, 0, 210));
sdX.getSeriesPalette().getEntries().add(ColorDefinitionImpl.create(100, 0, 0, 210));
- I have tried to use multiple x-axes, multiple y-axes, but no luck.
- I have to tried to call "sdY.getSeriesPalette().update(f)" as I've seen in some places, but no luck.
How does one do this?!
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Thank you for your response. As I mentioned, I'm using the BIRT API in Eclipse (Java code) and not the BIRT report/chart tool...
Would you know what API would let me change how the series is coloured (i.e. instead of by category, use by "value series"?
Thanks.

I found this API to setColorByCategory, but this is in IChart in the script.api package... My Chart object is an instance of IChartObject in the org.eclipse.birt.chart.model package.
