Controlling the color of each Pie Slice [message #1852403]

I have read several older posts on the code to control the color of each pie slice and I have tried the code of each one I found and nothing is working for me.

I do not know Java so please be nice.

I have tried using this code that I found on this forum.

function beforeDrawDataPoint( fcdph, fill, fcsc )
{
if (fcdph.getBaseDisplayValue() == "Total Cash"){
fill.set(0,140,153);
}
//else if (fcdph.getDataPointHints().getBaseDisplayValue() == "Total Equity"){
//fill.set(112,204,211);
//}
//else if (fcdph.getDataPointHints().getBaseDisplayValue() == "Total Benefits"){
//fill.set(255,78,0);
//}
else{
fill.set(255,78,0);
}
}

What should be the field listed in quotes? Nothing I have tried works.

I have my series field which is an Amount field, my Category which is a text field.

I want to control the slice colors by the different category names. I only have 3 as seen above. Is this the correct code to accomplish this? If so, what am I missing.

I have also tried using this code;

function beforeDrawDataPoint( dph, fill, icsc )
{
var stateKey = dph.getBaseDisplayValue();
if(stateKey.contains('Total Cash'))
{
fill.set(0, 140, 153);
} // Set to RED
else if(stateKey.contains('Total Equity'))
{
fill.set(112, 204, 0);
} // Set to Green
else if(stateKey.contains('Total Benefits'))
{
fill.set(255, 78, 0);
} // Set to Black
else
{
fill.set(0, 0, 64);
}// Set to Blue
}

I have loaded this code into the OnRender Script of the chart. Should it be someplace else?

Any help you can provide would be very appreciated.

I am using the most recent version of Eclipse.

I am simply want to control the colors of the slices and not have BIRT randomly pick a color from the palette.

Thanks in advance.
