Controlling Hierarchy Chart Colour Series

Question

Hi SDN,
Our customer produces Charts for data as part of Hierarchies .
Now it is possible to control the colour of series, if we are talking about single line series. 
But is it possible to have a Characteristic with hierarchy attached in front of another characteristic in the query.
Then what happens, is the hierarchy node/leaf gets cross multiplied by the second characteristic.
So when the chart is produced, you may have a hierarchy node X n times, which means you want to classify this as a series, and have this all the same colour.
I find the web allocates a new colour for each line.
Would this be possible.
Thank you.

We can achieve this using table class interface in BW3.5
Example
method data_cell.
  call method super->data_cell
    exporting
      i_x                   = i_x
      i_y                   = i_y
      i_value               = i_value
      i_display_value       = i_display_value
      i_numerical_scale     = i_numerical_scale
      i_numerical_precision = i_numerical_precision
      i_currency            = i_currency
      i_unit                = i_unit
      i_alertlevel          = i_alertlevel
      i_is_sum              = i_is_sum
    changing
      c_cell_id             = c_cell_id
      c_cell_content        = c_cell_content
      c_cell_style          = c_cell_style
      c_cell_td_extend      = c_cell_td_extend.
  data: li_display_value type rsr_pnnn.
  data:
     lv_len type i,
     lv_replace_value type char40,
     lv_with_value    type char40.
  if i_value lt 0.
if i_value > 0.
*break-point.
    data:
    amount type p decimals 2,
    correctamount type p decimals 2,
    chars(5) type c value '1.005'.
    correctamount = chars.
    write i_display_value to lv_replace_value
      no-sign decimals i_numerical_precision.
    condense lv_replace_value no-gaps.
    if i_value < 0.
      concatenate '-' lv_replace_value '</a>' into lv_replace_value.
      condense lv_replace_value no-gaps.
      lv_with_value = lv_replace_value.
      replace:
        '-'    with '(' into lv_with_value,
        '</a>' with ')</font></a>' into lv_with_value.
    else.
      concatenate lv_replace_value '</a>' into lv_replace_value.
      condense lv_replace_value no-gaps.
      lv_with_value = lv_replace_value.
      replace '</a>' with '</font></a>' into lv_with_value.
    endif.
    concatenate '<font color=red>' lv_with_value into lv_with_value.
    lv_len = strlen( lv_replace_value ).
    replace lv_replace_value(lv_len) with lv_with_value
      into c_cell_content.
  endif.
