Users can create custom color palettes for Vitara charts. VitaraCharts comes with three custom color palettes by default: Corporate1, Corporate2 and Corporate3.
In any of the Vitara chart, go to - edit → appearance → color palette.You may see these three color palettes if you expand the color palette tab. We can change the colors in existing color palettes and create new ones.
Open the file named global.txt in the following path,
VitaraCharts\custom
In this file, you can see the three properties called palette.Corporate1, palette.Corporate2 and palette.Corporate3. These are the sample custom palettes’ declarations. Please refer the below screenshot of the ‘global.txt’ file.
Create a palette. Color names, hex values, and RGB values are all valid color values. As an example,
palette.Vitara=red,green,blue,#12ffd4,rgb(123,215,168)
There is a palette.list property. This property contains all of the custom palettes (separated by commas) that must be reflected in the charts.
Add the name of the custom palette that you want to see in the chart’s list of color palettes.
As an example,
palette.list=Corporate1,Corporate2,Corporate3,Vitara
To see the color palette applied on the chart, For example to select the palette named Vitara,
Click
- Edit → Appearance → Color Palette → Vitara
Below is the screenshot of an existing custom palette Corporate1 in the chart.
There is a key in global.txt named palette.defaultPalette. So, you need to specify which custom palette defined in the global.txt should be the default palette for all the charts. For example,
palette.defaultPalette=Corporate3
Vitara {Misconfigured}
If the default palette set in the global.txt is misconfigured, the color palette is defaulted to the chart’s default palette.
Users can define any number of colors in a given palette.
After adding any new color, refresh the answers to reflect the new color in Vitara charts.
You can disable any of these custom color palettes, add # at the starting of the palette definition.
