Setting color for line chart

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,

I’m trying to set the colors for my line charts but I can only do it for the actual line and not the marker symbol.
See the uploaded files. One image shows the default colors and the other where I try to set the color to green but get a mix of green and blue.

@SuneVav

Can you please provide the code you are using to set the colors for the line charts and specify which Aspose product you are using?

green-color-set

no-color-set

It’s Aspose Words for Python.

The code:

shape3 = builder.insert_chart(aw.drawing.charts.ChartType.LINE,180,142)
shape3.stroked = False

chart3 = shape3.chart
chart3.title.text = "Test"
chart3.title.font.size = 12
chart3.title.font.color = pydraw.Color.black
chart3.series.clear()
chart3.title.show = False

chart3.series.clear()
categories = [v2, v1, v]

chart3.series.add("Value1", categories, [int(var1_2), int(var1_1), int(var1)])
chart3.series.add("Value2", categories, [int(var2_2), int(var2_1), int(var2)])

chart3.series[0].marker.symbol = aw.drawing.charts.MarkerSymbol.CIRCLE
chart3.series[0].format.stroke.color = pydraw.Color.green
chart3.series[0].marker.symbol.color = pydraw.Color.green
chart3.series[0].marker.size = 3
chart3.series[0].format.stroke.weight = 1	
#chart3.series[0].format.stroke.color = pydraw.Color.light_blue

chart3.series[1].marker.symbol = aw.drawing.charts.MarkerSymbol.CIRCLE	
chart3.series[1].marker.size = 3
chart3.series[1].format.stroke.weight = 1

@SuneVav You should set marker fill and stroke color:

chart3.series[0].marker.format.fill.color = pydraw.Color.green
chart3.series[0].marker.format.stroke.color = pydraw.Color.green

Wow, that must have been the only combination I didn’t try.
And I couldn’t find it in the documentation either.
It works perfectly. Thanks!
