Predefined Chart Color

Version

Application Scenario

Predefined Chart Color refers to predefined color schemes that are saved on the server and support the whole project. The color scheme under Style > Series is Theme by default, and you can select other predefined schemes from the drop-down list of Color Scheme to make the color matching more convenient and faster, as shown in the following figure. 

Function Entry

Choose Server > Predefined Chart Color in the menu bar of the designer, and you will see the editing page of predefined style, as shown in the following figure. 

The predefined style editing page consists of 4 modules, as shown in the following figure.

Toolbar

There are 6 icons in the toolbar, and you can click them to manipulate the list of predefined color schemes below. The function of each icon from left to right is as follows：

1. Add: You can add a new predefined color scheme. 

2. Remove: You can remove an existing predefined color scheme.

3. Copy: You can copy an existing predefined color scheme. 

4. Move Up: You can move up a predefined color scheme.

5. Move Down: You can move down a predefined color scheme.

6. Sort: After clicking, the list of predefined color schemes will be sorted by FineReport's default order.

Predefined Color Scheme List

It shows the built-in color schemes of the server and the color schemes customized by you. 

1. You can rename the scheme by double-clicking on it, and duplicate names are permitted.

2. You can delete one or several predefined color schemes at a time.

Note:

If only one predefined color scheme is left, the Remove icon will be grayed out, and you can't continue deleting. You can delete all the predefined color schemes by multi-selecting, and the chart will use the default theme color.

 3. When a color is selected, both the right color scheme and the preview interface show the predefined scheme of the color.

Color Scheme

You can modify the built-in color schemes, or create customized color schemes. You can select Combination Color or Gradient Color. Details are as follows:

1. Combination Color

You can select colors for the chart series from left to right, and add new colors by clicking the icon . The number of colors should not surpass 40, as shown in the following figure. 

Note:

When you select Combination Color and the number of series is greater than that of color blocks, some colors will appear many times.

2. Gradient Color

Gradient Color here refers to the gradient color of the color blocks. Each series gets a certain color within the gradient interval instead of getting a gradient color, as shown in the following figure. 

Color Scheme Preview

When editing the color scheme, you can preview the effect in the preview area at any time. You can also preview the effect by selecting the edited color.

Note:

You need to click OK in the lower right corner of the page, or changes made in the page will not take effect.

The predefined color scheme is only valid for the current project. When you view the template with the predefined color scheme under another project, the color scheme is not valid. How to reuse this scheme to other projects?

Predefined color schemes are stored in FineDB's table fine_conf_entity. If you want to reuse the color schemes, you can modify the fields in the table.
