Custom colors for Pie chart

[meghasaraf]

Hi All,

Can anyone help me figure out how to add custom colors to Pie chart?

I have a predefined set of colors which needs to be used however, I am unable to set the colors in the Pie chart format area.

Can anyone help me with this.

Thanks,

Megha

Hi @meghasaraf 

You can edit the RuntimeData settings file to add your own custom colour palettes in C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\RuntimeData\HtmlAssets\Charting.

You can follow @kelly_gilbert's excellent post here: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/How-to-customize-colors-in-an-Interact...

Note that the file you are looking to edit is now called ayx-chart-editor-tool.bundle

You will find the code line:

t.BREWER=d;var f=[i("D3"),i("G10"),i("T10"),i("Alphabet"),i("Dark24"),i("Light24"),i("test")] (my addition added in red)

You can then insert your own palette configurations (I have chosen the HEX code of three colours highlighted below):

You see these then appear in your list:

Please ensure you have the correct admin permissions to edit the file, and that you take a backup of the file before editing

Thanks!
