Change default colors of charts

Hello everyone,
is it possible to change the default background color and fonts color of charts? I know about changing the line colors (which I have already done according to our corporate design), but I did not find anything about setting background colors by default. We have two different themes (a dark and a bright one) and I don't want to copy the charts just to apply different colors to it.
Thank you in advance
Chris

Hi Chris,
I understand that BI 11g, gives some standard colors to the chart (The first preference might be blue ;) If I remember correctly). However, say you would like to change the color of the chart to green, I think we cannot directly override its color. Instead we can take a approach of chart options based on position at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e10544/creatingviews.htm#CHDDEFEF
As per the above link, we can give custom color to the bars based on the order they come up. Like in a group, 1st one blue, 2nd one green, 3rd yellow etc.
So if you have only one bar per graph, use this setting to specify the graph color using position =1
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

  • How can I change the color of chart in webi report

    Thanks Very Much

    Hi,
    You can change the color very easily. It's simple & straight forward which I found it couple of days back. (Sometimes simple things are hard to find :-p )
    Select the area in the Chart that you want to change color, then go to Format > Style > Background color. Now select the color that you want. In the attached picture, I have selected Yellow color for a piece of pie chart.

  • Defaulting colors in charts

    Hi,
    We have a requirement that, one of the dimensions we use in chart views actually define the color of the corresponding bar (let's assume it is a bar-chart). This can be done by setting conditional formatting on the measure (e.g. if the fruit name is apple, the bar is green, if it is orange the bar is orange and so on). However, we want to make it system default so whenever I put fruit dimension and a measure in a chart, we want the colors to be determined automatically as they should be (green for apples etc) without setting the conditional formatting for each chart.
    Is there a mechanism to achieve that? Or,is copying and pasting in conditional formatting possible as standard column formatting?
    Thanks for your help

    According to my knowledge we can’t change the color in the charts . According to legend color we will get that in Charts . and we cant change the legend colors in report level .please correct me if I am wrong

  • Create class in custom.css to define one's own default colors for charts

Is there a way I can create a new class that I can define in the Custom CSS class section. I am working on obiee 10g

    To force automatic wrapping as a function of the coordinate x (as opposed to a ctrl-enter), I modified the WrapApp( ) as follows: i) added a keyListener to the JTextPane component:
          edit.addKeyListener(new java.awt.event.KeyAdapter() {
             public void keyPressed(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
                editKeyPressed(evt);
          });and, added the following listener:
       private void editKeyPressed(KeyEvent evt) {
          try {
             int dot = edit.getCaret().getDot();
             Rectangle cc = edit.modelToView(dot);
             System.out.println("CTP: " + dot + ", (x, y): (" + cc.x + ", " + cc.y + ")");
             if (evt.getKeyCode() == 8) {
                return;
             if (cc.x > 100) {
                insertLineBreak(); // as shown in the reference provided earlier
          } catch (BadLocationException ex) {
       }The behavior is fine as it automatically wraps and it outputs:
    CTP: 0, (x, y): (3, 3)
    CTP: 1, (x, y): (10, 3)
    CTP: 2, (x, y): (17, 3)...
    However, if I add change the component orientation edit.applyComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT), the x-coordinate is shot to its positive limit and all printed characters are no longer visible! The output now is:
    CTP: 0, (x, y): (32770, 3)
    CTP: 2, (x, y): (32763, 3)
    CTP: 4, (x, y): (32756, 3)...
    Any idea how to fix that the x-coordinate is within limits (e.g., it should be bounded by the size of the editor pane)?
    Thank you.

  • Change Default Color Profile in New Image Document ?

    I've looked and looked, and even Googled.  Anyone know how to change the default color profile when you start a New image file?  In CS5 mine defaults to sRGB (Under the Advanced drop down) but my CS6 is ProPhoto RGB which means I have to change it manually nearly every time I paste an image copied via right click in a web browser. 

    I think it the same on windows. If I copy things to the clipboard with Photoshop that the document profile seem to be used there when I do a paste there are no color issues.  However if I use Prtscn or Alt+PrtScn to capture screen content.  I'll see that the colors are wrong when I paste the clipboard into a new document if my default color space is not sRGB. Then I need to assign sRGB to the document to correct the colors.
    If I paste a screen capture into the current document the color can be very off and I will not get a prompt on the color mismatch. Therefore I don't think a screen capture has any profile associated with it. And of course the screen has a much lower resolution then the images I edit. So there is also a big size difference. Here is one scaled to 100% zoom after the paste. You can see both the color and resolution difference.  This capture was assigned to sRGB so you will see what the screen looks like after the paste and zoom to 100%.

  • Change (default) color 'blue'

    Hello experts,
    my problem: i want to change the default color 'blue'. In 'green'. I meen for example ui-element captions is with the attribute rowBackgroundDesign blue, or by tables with CellDesign standard are the readOnly columns blue. I want it in green.
    Can anybody help me? What must i do?
    Thanks for help
    greetings
    Raier

    Hi Rainer,
    there is no direct property like semanticcolor for label , you have to change through kind off design..
    which release you are working on.. i have an idea u go to application configuration in admin mode and go to UI element property and as ulltimately HTML is rendered so there is a trick to handle this..
    For the “Width” parameter, you enter
    6ex; color: white; font-weight:bold; background-color: yellow
    this is a trick and it works for releases prior to NW 7.1
    Let me know if it needs more explanation..
    Regards

  • Changing default color scheme when exporting ALV report to Excel spreadshee

    Hi all,
    We have a bunch of FI reports created using OOPS in abap.  Each of the reports has the functionality to be exported to an excel spreadsheet.  When exporting to Excel, the headers are a very dark brown color, making them difficult to read and it has been requested that they are shaded a lighter color.  I have not defined any sort of color scheme within the report itself, and I was wondering if there was a way to change the color scheme when exporting the report to excel.  Let me know if there is anything that can be done, thanks!

  • How to Change Default Colors in Linux

    Hello All, and thanks in advance.
    I wanted to know how can I change the default colos in Linux, so that they resemble the Windows's one.
    For example I want to change the blue-green bg color in linux to a gray.

    Either manually do a 'define editor=vi' when you log in through sql*plus, or put that in the glogin.sql in $ORACLEHOME/sqlplus/admin or put that in a login.sql in the directory you run sqlplus from.

  • Change "Default" location for chart legend

    Hi,
    By default, when you create a chartthe legend appears to the right of the chart itself. As a company all of our legends are at the top. Is there anyway to set the default location to be top rather than right?
    Thanks

    Ex post you can do mass manipulation with catalog manager. But I assume you're looking for an ex ante solution and that's more tricky. The controlling tag
    <saw:legendFormat position="top"/>is nested within the saw:view
    <saw:view xsi:type="saw:staticchart" name="staticchart!1" rptViewVers="200510010">
             <saw:template tid="charts/column.cxml"/>
             <saw:selections>
                <saw:categories>
                   <saw:category position="0">
                      <saw:column columnID="c1"/></saw:category></saw:categories>
                <saw:measures>
                   <saw:column columnID="c0" position="0"/></saw:measures>
                <saw:seriesGenerators>
                   <saw:measureLabels/></saw:seriesGenerators></saw:selections>
             <saw:canvasFormat/>
             <saw:legendFormat position="top"/></saw:view></saw:views></saw:report>I don't think you can change that with an adaption of the answerstemplates.xml like you would for view properties. Anyone has any idea of how to default an attribute of a child object of a view? Stijn? John?

  • Changing default colors to a dark grey background, can no longer see gmail buttons.

    The bright white pages of most web sites hurt my eyes and I really enjoy making pages a grey color.
    After changing Preferences/Content/Color/Background to a dark grey I really love how everything looks especially search pages, google calendar, gmail etc.
    The problem is that many buttons have disappeared. These buttons are icons I believe so I do not understand why the background color would make them dissapear.
    inspection of a gmail button that is now just an outline with no text or icon as follows:
    <div class="asa"><div class="asf T-I-J3 J-J5-Ji"></div></div> //inner html
    <div aria-label="Refresh" data-tooltip="Refresh" style="-moz-user-select: none;" class="T-I J-J5-Ji nu T-I-ax7 L3" act="20" role="button" tabindex="0"><div class="asa"><div class="asf T-I-J3 J-J5-Ji"></div></div></div> //outer html

    ''jjmk1 [[#answer-712611|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    so I believe much of the problem lies in the fact that many icons and graphics use transparency and that may be why they cannot render when I force a dark background using FireFox preferences for color.
    </blockquote>
    It is because, when you <em>force</em> a dark background using the checkbox, you also prohibit use of background <i>images</i>. There is no meaningful HTML except for an id or a class to which the CSS attaches a "background" image (which is probably a simply bad practice).
