Chart Colors do not stick

Using Chrystal 2011 I have a chart where I try to define the Series Colors. Using the Format option I choose a color from the available dropdown. The preview window and the chart to the left show the color I choose, but after clicking OK the color changes back to what it was before. What am I doing wrong?
Also, is there a Series Color property I can programmatically control from within the VS 2010 application?

Re. CR 2011 chart color - please post the query to the [SAP Crystal Reports|http://forums.sdn.sap.com/forum.jspa?forumID=313] forum.
Re. programmatically control charts within the VS 2010 application

Code Coloring does not stick

The changes I make in the Preferences section under Code Coloring do not always stick. I even tried replacing the Colors.xml file with someone else's theme. That does not come through. I replaced it both under my Configuration/Code Coloring folder which appears under Applications as well as my User folder.
I don't understand why some of the changes take and others not. Should there not be an easier way to do this??
Any clues as to how I can make the new (external) Colors.xml stick would be appreciated.

CS5. And I should say, the instructions given on the Adobe site on how to swap out the colors.xml file indicate a folder that doesn't exist. There is no Preferences folder. It's Configurations.

Color spaces not sticking...?

What's Confusing: I have a layered file, the color space assigned to it is sRGB. I save a png file via Save For Web, tick the option to convert export to sRGB. All looks good in the save for web 2-up preview. But when I open the new png file, it's color profile is set to Adobe RGB, and the color space looks off—not like it did in the SFW preview.
Details: My default color space is Adobe RGB. Sync'd across all CS5 apps. I have the option ticked to warn me on profile mismatches when opening a file. So far so good.
So it seems like my Working Space color (Adobe RGB) is overriding SFW settings as well as my document color space settings
Same thing happens when saving as a jpg.
Any thoughts?

To erase, delete or reset Save For Web & Devices SFW preferences:
Open a small .jpg in Photoshop (to ungray the File menu).
Mac: Press and hold Option+Command keys, while File> Save For Web Devices (you will get a prompt confirming you want to erase all Save for Web preferences).
Windows PC: Press and hold Control+Alt keys, while File> Save For Web Devices (you will get a prompt confirming you want to erase all Save for Web preferences).
that should configure SFW default settings to CONVERT your Photoshop Source Space to sRGB and strip the ICC profile by default
How to reset Photoshop's preferences using special key combinations (most Adobe apps use this method of keystrokes):
First Quit Photoshop.
Mac: Press and hold Command+Option+Shift keys, while opening Photoshop (you will get a prompt confirming you want to delete the Adobe Photoshop settings folder).
Windows PC: Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift keys, while opening Photoshop (you will get a prompt confirming you want to delete the Adobe Photoshop settings folder).

I would like to change the colour of bars in a chart without losing the underlying default texture associated with my chosen theme. None of the 3D textured fills offered in "Chart Colors" match the textured fill of the theme. Any suggestions?

I would like to change the colour of bars in a chart without losing the underlying default texture associated with my chosen theme. None of the 3D textured fills offered in "Chart Colors" match the textured fill of the theme. Any suggestions?

Thanks Gary, but no, that does not work. First of all, I can't select each bar individually. When I click on one bar, all three bars are selected.
When I use "inspector > graphic" I have 5 fill options: none, color, gradient, image, tinted image. The default selection for the theme I'm using is image. What I would like to use for my charts is the same image that this theme uses for table headers. It has the same texture as the chart, but a different colour. Using anything but image or tinted image removes the texture from the fill.
I have found I can do one of two things. I can select tinted image from the fill selections in "inspector > graphic" or I can select 2D Image Fills from "inspector > chart > chart colors". The first choice does not allow me to match the table header colour because it only allows me to apply a tint to the existing colour and adjust its opacity. The existing colour has too much influence on the fill, so I can't find an RGB adjustment that will match the table header colour. The image selections from "inspector > chart > chart colors" do not quite match the colour or the texture. Again, I can try to tint the image, but I still can't get it to match and the texture is not the same anyway.
The image I want to use obviously exists in the software as it is an attribute of the theme, but for some reason is inaccessible. The other angle I have tried is to edit the theme, but I can't figure out how to do that either.

Colors dialed in by the numbers do not stick.

Colors dialed in by the numbers do not stick. I have a 1-color yellow logo that I open in Photoshop in RGB mode. I need the RGB values for the yellow to be specific (232/157/0). So I select the logo, dial in the RGB numbers for the yellow, fill in the selected logo with the correct color, and save. I close the file then reopen it and check the RGB values and they are off by 1 number (now 232/158/1). Why is it doing this?? I expect when I open an Illustrator file in Photoshop that the numbers will shift because this has happened my entire career. HOWEVER, when I save a Photoshop document then re-save it and it's different the next time I open it, I am lost for answers. BTW my color management settings are synced across the Adobe suite for "North America General Purpose 2" if that makes a difference. I am running PS CS6 (13.0.5) on OSX 10.8.5. Any answers would be appreciated.

First of all you should know that RGB numbers are specific to the color space the file is in. The same color in sRGB and Adobe RGB will not have the same RGB numbers.
However, that can't be the case here because the difference is only one single value. So my guess is that you're looking at the result of (destructive) jpeg compression.

Can you change note colors in Stickies and, if not, why is there a Show Color tab in Stickies?

I'd like to change the colors in Stickies as I have them hanging around on my display for a while. Can you do this? If not, why is there a "Show Color" tab in Stickies under the Font menu?
Any help would be appreciated.

In Mavericks, click on any sticky and then from the Sticky menu, choose color and set it. Stickies will only remain on your display as long as the application itself is running. You might consider dragging /Application/Stickies to your Dock. Right click on the Stickies Dock icon and you will notice Options.
You can make Stickies an open at login item (this is enabled in System Preferences > Users & Groups> Login Items). Each time you startup your Mac, your stickies will appear on your display. You may also wish to select Keep In Dock. Any time that you want the Stickies off your display, you simply right-click on its Dock icon and select Quit. You can choose whether they float over other windows, and can also arrange them in specific order.
The Show Colors menu item brings up the colors palette that allows you to change the font color in selected Sticky note text.

Chart Legend Edits not holding - CR XI R2

We are making a report with multiple sub reports. Many of the sub reports are charts (Pie, stacked bar & line). The default legend labels are "Sum of [table or query name].[field name]." When we preview, then edit the legend labels to something more user friendly and save, the edits don't stick. As long as the report is open it looks OK, as soon as the report is closed and reopened it reverts back to the default legend label.
What can be done to correct this behavior so the legend labels once edited will hold the value assigned?
FYI
The main report is simply a shell to hold the sub reports with conditionals for each section/sub report to allow for that sub report to be shown or not. There are no links between the sub reports or the sub reports and the main report. There are approximately 100 sub reports and about 1/3 of them are charts.

Hi Steve,
Preferably the solution would be to edit the Legend from the Design window.
The other workaround is just delete the auto generated legend and manually creates legends.
The charts used in Group Headers uses the summaries, which are evaluated while previewing the report and are referred to as u201CWhileprintingrecordsu201D stage and happens in Pass #2. Hence, the modifications that are done to the chart labels are not retained when you preview the report after closing the report. When you save the data with report, the modification are retained because they are not evaluated again and uses the existing data. You can observe this by closing the preview and then if you preview it again, you will not get the modified axis label as they are evaluated freshly.
In case of charts which are placed in Report Header, these are evaluated in Pass #1.
For more information on this, refer the document cr9_evaluationtimes.pdf
OR search for multi-pass reporting in Crystal Reports Online Help.
To create manual legends, follow the below steps:
Step 1: Open the report.
Step 2: Select u2018Boxu2019 from Insert menu and draw a small box near Chart
Step 3: Select u2018Text Objectu2019 from Insert menu and insert it near the small box inserted in step 2 and enter the required label text in it.
Step3: Right click on the box and select u2018Format Boxu2019 option, check u2018Fillu2019 checkbox and select the required color.
Step 4: Repeat step 2,3 to have mores manual legend labels.
Step 5: Preview the report.
Hope the above helps.

Alpana

Setting chart colors in palette.cxml

I've modified the chart colors in two palette.xml files:
/OracleBI/web/app/res/s_PeerApp/chartsupport
/home/padmin/OracleBI/oc4j_bi/j2ee/home/applications/analytics/analytics/res/s_PeerApp/chartsupport
Not working well at all – for both new and old charts, for any type (bars, line, pie) – sometimes display the new colors and sometimes the old ones. When I see the new colors and refresh the page, it sometimes return to defaults.
Any ideas?

In keynote you have a slide with a chart in it. I will use a bar chart for this example. Now that you have the slide with the chart you want to edit the colors of open, click on the "Colors" button at the top right of the Keynote window. Click on the wheel Until the box above the wheel displays the color you desire. Once you have that color chosen, click in that color box and drag it to the bar you want to have that color in your chart. Tada! You have now changed the color. I am on my iPhone or would have done some screen shots for you.
Enjoy!

Pie Chart Color Scheme

Post Author: Janice
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
I have a report written in Crystal Reports XI that has a pie chart in the Report Header displaying counts of activity by "reason code" for a selected time period. The users have noticed that, when they run the report for different time periods, the same "reason" has a different color on each report. It seems that the default is to sequence colors based on volume (size of 'pie wedge').
They would like to have the colors appear linked to Reason Code rather than to volume. Is there a way to change the pie chart color scheme so that it is coded by "description" not by "count"?

hi,
As you are selecting 'Color Highlight' for different Pie Slices, "For all records" option shouldn't be selected.
It should be "On Change of".
Then obviously you will see the colors specified in 'Color Hghlight' tab.

Chart color customization for Sentinel Log Manager (and RD)

Hi all,
I am trying to customize the color of the chart provided by the SDK. I
based on the
top 10 Report as modification. The default severity 0 color is WHITE.
I tried to change the files of color_RGB.csv or Key_color.csv of the
entry to GREY4 but
it turns out it is not reading it at all during build-report.xml.
Does it mean:
1) I have to put those csv files in parameter directories?
2) Do I have to run the autoparam build?
3) Or I have to work with JFreeChart via the eclipse and rebuild the
java files first?
Thanks,
Geoffrey

The original csv files are in the AA-common directories. I changed it,
and using the build-report.xml. The result is negative. The chart
severity color does not change.
So I put the modified csv files into the parameter directors under by
report build directory. Same problems.
So from the documents, it should be referring to the csv files to
define color mapping. So I cannot be sure where to put those files or do
some java programming with JFreeChart in order to achieve it.
Thanks,

Using chart colors with shapes

Does anyone know if it is possible to use chart colors(etched metal, wood, etc.) with "shapes" created in Pages '08?
Thank you,

They are stored as images in /Library/Application Support/iWork '08/Content/Fills/ . To make it a little more difficult they are stored in different kinds of archives, but ctrl-click on for example the .sfctex files and choose "Show Package Contents" and you have access to the images. You can copy them from there and use them to fill graphics. Just make sure you do not remove them from the archives. I suspect that may damage your iWork installation seriously.

Stacked bar chart colors

Post Author: mecca
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
I hope someone knows the answer to this question. Can you change the color format of a stacked bar chart line individually (not the whole lines color), I need to hide the min field by using the color white, but when I set the format color to white based on the value of greater than 0, then whole stacked line turns white. I have tried both by series and by group.
thnx in advance,
Mecca

Not sure I understand. Is it a Stacked BAR chart? a Stacked LINE chart? a combo bar/line stack chart?
Take a look at www.threedgraphics.com and go to CRChart and see if any of our examples look close???

Nvidia color settings not load on startup (Lenovo T430)

Hi,
After I make the desired color settings within the nvidia control panel they do not stick after I restart my laptop. However, they are applied after I log off and log in again but not after I restart. Any idea why is this happening, I guess it has something to do with user accounts but cannot figure it out.
Cheers and thanks,
Srdjan

Spaces not "sticking"

Not a big deal, but I noticed since SL that a couple of my programs are not sticking to their assigned "Space."
For example, both ICal and Mail are assigned to space one, but they keep going over to Space two. The assignments are still on Space One (and I am not moving them over manually).
Any ideas?
Thanks,

My experience with the problem being described in some of the posts is as follows:
Opening a Pages document from the Finder window (Pages is assigned to space 5. Finder window in this example is in space 1)
1. If Pages is not open - double-clicking the document will open Pages, move me to space 5, and display the document (as expected).
2. If Pages is open - double-clicking (alt-click Open With) the document will open the document in my current space (space 1 in this example) - not expected at all.
Another issue, even more odd/annoying:
This has to do with dialog windows. ex. PhotoShop (space 2), DreamWeaver (space 1). Attempting to change hexadecimal code in DreamWeaver file to match a PhotoShop color. Open the color picker in PhotoShop -> copy the hex-code (color picker still open) -> switch to space 1 via keyboard -> here's the strangeness.
Sometimes - clicking on the DreamWeaver document will send me back to space 2 automatically: at which point I cannot close/select the color picker window - unless I enter expose and come out of it - even then, sometimes clicking on the color picker results in flipping back to space 1 - at which point entering spaces view (where all spaces are visible) and selecting space 2 usually fixes the issue).
Other times - I can edit the DreamWeaver document just fine, but when I go back to PhotoShop I still have to enter expose and come out of it to close the color picker (see above).
Another example would be pasting things from eMail (space 4) into a web browser (space 1). If you're familiar with drop-in menus to login to a server which requires username and password (not a web form - but a dialog box) you might be able to try this yourself:
Opening the eMail from Mail. Select the desired text -> command+c -> keyboard shortcut (option+arrow up - for this example) -> navigate to website with dialog -> set username field active -> command+v -> option+arrow down (space 4) -> select new text -> command+c -> option+arrow up (space 1), dialog box is still open, make password field active -> automatically get shifted back to space 4.
Again, this is a bit more of a hassle (because I have dialog boxes open in a lot of programs and copy and paste between applications & spaces a lot), but the other issue would probably be easier to isolate and fix.
