Color Scheme
There are a number of pre-set color schemes defined. These color schemes color the data and chart components. A pre-set color scheme can be modified, or you can create your own one from scratch.
To customise a color scheme, you can add or remove colour blocks, or simply re-define the palette size. The colors that are represented in the scheme are represented by the tiles at the bottom of this panel. To change a tiles colour, click on it and select a colour from the colour picker.
The color scheme on a Pie chart controls the data segments or wedges of the chart.
The "Nested" Pack chart uses only the first two colours in the scheme. The first is the background of the data groups, and the second the background of the data points.
The "Flat" Pack chart uses each colour in the scheme to represent the data of each group. The colours relate to the first level of data.
The Sunburst chart colour scheme represents each group in the data set. Each child data set that does not have any children of it's own will also inherit the same colur as it's parent.
The Force chart colour scheme uses only the first 4 values of the palette. These are:
- The colour of the "group" nodes.
- The colour of the "group" node when collapsed.
- The colour of the data nodes.
- The colour of the "branches" on the tree.
The Area chart colour scheme uses only the first 3 values of the palette. These are:
- The colour of the are underneath the data points.
- The colour of the line that connects the data points on the graph and the border colour of each of the data point circles.
- The colour of the circles that lie on each of the data points.
(In the future this chart will suport multiple categories, and the colour scheme will represent the colour of each data group. At that point the current values of the them may be whiched out to the theme object.)
The Bar chart colour scheme uses only the first value of the palette. (In the future this chart will suport multiple categories, and the colour scheme will represent the colour of each data group.)
The color scheme on a Chord chart controls the data segments on the outer arc of the chart. The "chords" or inner arcs that join the edges of the circle will generally pick up the colour of the smallest data group. These "chords" have a reduced opacity from the outer arcs.
