beforeDrawDataPoint, setting color problem

BugMeNot21

I have a dataset with started(datetime), finished(datetime) and status(string) obtained from database.

I need to color the gantt chart boxes based on status but i am unable to find a connection between the DataPointHint and the row['status']. I have set up a parallel key/value map as global variable which is filled in within OnFetch but as it seemed logical that DataPointHint getIndex would match the row in dataset but unfortunately this doesnt match.

The only "usefull" value I get within datapoint hint is something like:

"SApr 30, 2013 3:00:05 AM EApr 30, 2013 3:08:14 AM Status"

which is a pain to create with javascript. The getBaseDisplay value is useless as i am having multiple time periods on same row on chart.

Any help would be appreciated:(

I was able to do this using the following script<br />
<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>function beforeDrawDataPoint( dph, fill, icsc )
{
if( dph.getBaseDisplayValue() == "Cancelled"){
fill.set(255,0,0);
}
if( dph.getBaseDisplayValue() == "Shipped"){
fill.set(255,255,0);
}
if( dph.getBaseDisplayValue() == "Resolved"){
fill.set(127,255,0);
}
}
</pre>
<br />
I've attached an example, I wrote this in 4.2.2. Let me know if you need it in another version
