Pie Chart - Using BDPro set colors based on category values

kbpeavey

<p>I'm creating a pie chart in BDPro and I need to permanently set my pie slice colors to always correspond with the same values. For example, cars are green,  trains are red, and planes are blue. Even if there are no cars,  I still want my pie slices for trains to be red and planes to be blue.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure the anwser lies in the client scripting, but I have been unable to sort it out on my own.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>This is a similar to the same issue in consistently setting colors on a bar chart as described in <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/index.php?/topic/39044-setting-birt-chart-series-palette-dynamically-in-bdpro-using-client-script/'>http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/index.php?/topic/39044-setting-birt-chart-series-palette-dynamically-in-bdpro-using-client-script/</a></p&gt;
