Note:
When a bitmap is set, the system will ignore the FaceColorBack$ property.

(Bitmap property was added in PxPlus 2019.)

Colors

Click the dotted Query button or double click inside the cell to access Color Selections. Valid formats for color selections include predefined system colors (e.g. Light Red), Custom (RGB codes), HTML Hex Color Codes, User Defined colors (e.g. Color17) and string Expressions.

After a color property is set, a tick in the selected color displays in the top left corner. A floating tip with a sample of the selected color displays when hovering the mouse over the color setting.

(The color tick and color tip were added in PxPlus 2018.)

Background

Background color of the chart.

Plus and Native charts use the background color outside the chart area.

RGraph charts use the color in the chart area itself.

Google charts apply the background color to both areas.

Due to different areas being affected, it is recommended that a background color of White be used to remain consistent with all brands.

Chart Colors

Colors to apply when plotting the different datasets of a chart. See Chart Colors.

Colors can be specified using standard PxPlus colors (e.g. Light Red, Dark Blue, etc.), Custom colors (e.g. RGB:192 255 192), User-Defined colors (e.g. COLOR16) and/or Expressions. The number of colors is not restricted; however, if there are more datasets than colors specified, the colors will repeat.

See Colors for additional information on controlling the colors used for chart datasets.

(Chart Colors property was added in PxPlus 2020.)
