CS5 - Make pie chart, color it, save...crash

Duplicated this.
Create a pie chart with two slices. Isolate it. Pull one slice out a bit. Add gradient to both. Color using RGB values in an RGB document. Save. Crashes every time.
When software companies don't compete, the customer suffers.

Found another post where CS5 crashes on save with a pie chart.
CS4 doesn't do it, so I'm using that...just like I go back to Flash CS4 for things that crashes CS5...
Thanks

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.

Getting the default pie chart colors

Hello,
I have a pie and a bar chart that display the same
information... Pie charts colors are filled automatically, and I
would like to use those colors for my bar chart as well... is there
any way to get those colors?

I ran into this issue myself and figured it out here:
Can I access Flex's default Chart colors? Or can I access a Series' current color?

Pie Chart Colors

So I have created a pie chart using the Pie Graph Tool in AI, the data is accurate once it is made, but I cannot change the colors. After entering in the numbers into the cell I select the check mark. It makes the pie graph. Doesn't let me select the separate slices alone so I expanded the entire graph, then direct select to change colors. It lets me select the separate slice, but when I go to change the color it either doesn't work it changes from one shade of grey to another. I need actual color.
Any suggestions? Have tried making several different graphs but still the same issue. Using Creative Cloud

You should be able to direct select single parts of a "live" graph.
This has lead to corrupt files in some cases though. So you might want to test this thoroughly.
If the color panel doesn't show color sliders, try and select CMYK from the panel menu. If that doesn't show, apply a color swatch first and then change its values.

PIE Chart color assignment

I have a Pie chart where the actual data values are Green, Red and Yellow and the user wants the chart colors to be same as the data values.
Is there any way I can do that?
Currently using APEX 4.0.1.00.03
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Greg
Edited by: Greg McEachern on Dec 4, 2012 10:38 AM

Thank you Matthew. That worked kind of.
The issue is the query returns Yellow, Red, Green, Black in that order. So when I do the custom colours in that order everything is fine when all those 4 values are returned. But if no data comes back for Red. The data values for Green show up as the color Red and the Black shows up as Green. Any way I can resolve that?
Thanks, Greg

PIE Chart Color Highlight - setting colors

Hi
PIE Chart showing default colors even after setting the diffent colors to OIE chart slices from Color Highlight tab.
PIE chart is showing only one slice when I select Data for the PIE Char is "For all records".
Could you please let me know how to set the different colors for slices?
Thank you

Don't understand pie chart color manipulation

Hi,
I've tried changing the colors of my pie chart in the CSS file, but I can't seem to figure out what to change. I don't think I understand how it works.
The line I tried to modify is:
#dial{stroke:#336699;stroke-width:2px;fill:#336699;fill-opacity:.5;}
Is this the right line?
Thanks,
Nora

Hello,
No that line controls the part of the dial chart.
take a look at this example http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:32
What your going to want to mess with will look like this
#data1 ,rect.data1 ,path.data1{fill:#336699;}
#data2 ,rect.data2 ,path.data2{fill:#FF0000;}
#data3 ,rect.data3 ,path.data3{fill:#00FF00;}
#data4 ,rect.data4 ,path.data4{fill:#0000FF;}
#data5 ,rect.data5 ,path.data5{fill:#DDDDDD;}
#data6 ,rect.data6 ,path.data6{fill:#FFFF00;}

How can you make the Chart "Color Highlights" Item Condition val a variable

Hi,
I have a report with a chart on it.
The chart has on Item Condition on it to change the color of each bar to red if the value is under a certain value.
This value needs to be passed in as a parameter to the report.
The condition looks like this
if Avg PerformancePercent < 90 then bar color = red
The 90 in this condition needs to be set from a parameter P_PerformancePercent_Threshold.
I am producing the report in Visual Studio 2005 using CrystalReportViewer to display the report.
Since the value field seems to only take in numeric values I have assumed there is no way to use a parameter something like.
So I am looking at doing this through code.
The object model for the ChartObject does not have many properties/methods on it.
Is there any other way to achieve this?
Thanks, George

Functionality using the Crystal Reports SDK in Visual Studio .NET is limited to the appearance of the chart in the viewer such as height and width. See the following for more details;

Pie Chart doesn't display all columns

I set up a simply table and made a bar chart = everything worked out well.
I selected my table again and clicked on 'make pie chart' but this time it doesn't display all the colums. I really don't know what went wrong here.
I'd appreciate it very much if some could help me out here.
Preview Picture: http://cl.ly/1SKg
Numbers File: http://cl.ly/1SAh

patte,
Even though you have selected the entire table to be charted as a Pie Chart, and the table includes three data series, a Pie Chart can only display one series at a time, so it displays the first one; "3. Klasse"
In "3. Klasse", the values of Schaukel and Drehscheibe are zero, so there is no pie to display.
Hope this explains the situation for you. To make Pie Charts for the other two series, you would again select the header cells, then hold down the Command key while selecting the other series. Then add another chart. Do this for each series you wish to chart.

Saving individual 3D pie chart slices

I want to create an animated pie chart...with individual slices appearing one at a time. I will do the actual annimation outside of Illustrator (likely in Flash or Motion). The question is...after making a pie chart, can I save each slice as an individual graphic within Illustrator CS4? Thanks in advance.

Yes you can create an art board for each slice you can pull them apart with the direct select tool.
You can the export them as individual files in a variety of ways.
However this is the kind of thing you can do straight from Illustrator by releasing the art to a layers to a sequence and exporting as a swf and bring that into flash. You can also choose the option to save the Illustrator layers as flash symbols and simply import that file to the Flash Library.

Can I access Flex's default Chart colors? Or can I access a Series' current color?

I've created a popup to dynamically add/remove Series from a LineChart and/or AreaChart. Problem is, I want to keep the Series' line color consistent, and Flex wants to re-assign them from it's default list, which is confusing.
I don't want to just set the Series.visible to false for two reasons:
1. I also want the LegendItem to disappear from the Legend
2. Stacked AreaCharts (type == 'stacked') get messed up when you set one of its Series.visible = false
So to avoid color reassignment, I want to explicitly set the lineStroke for my Series. But if I'm using Flex's default colors, I need to either:
a. Have access to the static default color array - does anyone know where this is??? or
b. After the Series are drawn (updateComplete?), I need to query each for its lineStroke color and then explicitly set it to that same color. How do I do this??? getStyle('lineStroke') returns null, and I can't see a way to get at the renderer.
I'm essentially re-posting the following unanswered posts, which I promise to link back to this if someone can please help:
Binding to Rendered Chart Data [http://forums.adobe.com/message/186840#186840]
Getting the default pie chart colors [http://forums.adobe.com/message/36410#36410]
Please help!

Matt, thanks for your reply, but unfortunately, for LineCharts, LineSeries.getStyle('fill') always returns 0xffffff (white).
I finally found that after my LineChart is completely rendered, (sometime after LineSeries' updateComplete), LineSeries.getStyle('lineStroke') and getStyle('stroke') both return the correct Stroke.color values ("lineStroke" refers to the line segment and "stroke" to the data point).
Rather than fooling around with collecting the actual values dynamically, I just generated some trace() output from a LineChart with a bunch of Series to create my own static Array from which I can initialize my Series.setStyle(color) as I dynamically add them to my LineChart:
        public static const DEFAULT_FLEX_SERIES_COLORS:Array = [
            0xe48701, 0xa5bc4e, 0x1b95d9, 0xcaca9e,
            0x6693b0, 0xf05e27, 0x86d1e4, 0xe4f9a0,
            0xffd512, 0x75b000, 0x0662b0, 0xede8c6,
            0xcc3300, 0xd1dfe7, 0x52d4ca, 0xc5e05d,

            0xffb900, 0x9ebbcd, 0x009797, 0x0db2c2
It turns out there's only 28 unique color values before the color pattern repeats. I don't see a numerical pattern; perhaps someone with more time on their hands can figure out if there's a function behind this series of values (printed here in binary, decimal, and hex):

Illustrator CS5 won't save pie chart

I created a pie chart in Illustrator 5 using a much-loved Veerle tutorial ... drew a square, entered my data, created pie, applied gradient colors and a 1 pt white stroke between the pieces. Hit save, and got this message: "Can't save the file." That's it. No reason, no funny sequence of numbers and letters denoting an error. Thought maybe my gradients used too large a spectrum of color, but even after I applied plain colors I got, "Can't save the file."
Is this a version 5 glitch, or am I doing something wrong? The workaround was to enter data and create the pie only, then move it to InDesign for the remaining steps. But, if anyone knows why I couldn't save a color pie chart in Illustrator, I'd appreciate knowing, too! Thanks.

I'm having similar problems, and can't seem to find any answers online anywhere - though I am seeing comments elsewhere that indicate I'm not alone. This thread is the closest I've come! I'm hoping somone can shed some light on this. (I am working in CS5 as well)
I've created my pie charts, and then cannot do anything else (except change the data numbers). I would like to do a 3D effect - and can't, all of my menus are grayed out. I couldn't even expand or un-group if I wanted to. I can't copy, paste or delete the charts either.
I've been using illustrator for many years, and haven't come across a problem like this before.

I just want to make a pie chart

I've been assigned to make a pie chart in class (with each section a different color), and I've loaded the javax.swing.JApplet and java.awt.*
I've only gotten as far as drawing the circle. I know how to create lines, but I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do to fill in the sections of the pie chart with different colors.
Could anyone help me with this simple project? Like what method I should look at?

Have you looked at the link?
public abstract void fillArc(int x,
                             int y,
                             int width,
                             int height,
                             int startAngle,
                             int arcAngle)So, let us guess at how to draw a circle, and 300 x 400, Mmm the x would be 300, and the y 400. It wants to have a radius of 100px, so thats the width & hieght sorted. Do you want it to be a complete circle? If so that is from 0-360 degrees . So that is the start & end angle.
Actually, do you know draw to the screen?
