Hi, in my company we would like find a way to pre-update the chart color in order to our customers can recognize themselves between different instances of Flexmonster in same page, see the image to understand better.

In the attached image you could see the same company in two different graphs, in each graph the pie slice has a different color, is possible assign same colors by (for example) a company id?

Hello, Jean!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Kindly note that it is possible to set the same colors for certain members in Flexmonster Pivot Charts using customizeChartElement API call.

The idea lies in the following:

  • Define the static colors that you like
  • Create a structure where each member from the chart would have the color hex attached to its caption. You can use our API calls, e.g., getReport() and getMembers(), to fetch the list of members.
  • Use the customizeChartElement function, which iterates chart elements and legend icons, to set predefined colors for each member.

We have prepared a JSFiddle example with a pie chart illustrating the idea: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/t70fhonm/.

Hope you will find our answer helpful.

Kind regards,
Solomiia
