Custom chart palette Cognos 10.2

[Bark]

Hi,

I have created a custom palette in one of the series of a bar chart (I wanted it for the whole chart but apparently in 10.2 you assign the palette series by series...). Then I clicked on copy, went to a different chart, open the palette pane and when clicking on paste nothing happens!

I have pasted the clipboard in a notepad and it is there (<RSClipboardFragment version="2.0"><v2_solidPalette><v2_solidPaletteEntries>...) but the paste action does not work. Has any of you experienced something similar?

I have been trying with paste, ctrl+v, pasting it in the chart itself (I got an error saying that a palette element couldn't be pasted there) and nothing.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Bark

Well, apparently you cannot copy-paste a palette from a Bar Chart into a Line Chart... I changed the second chart to Bar, then pasted the palette and it worked. I converted it back to Lines and the palette remained.

Does anybody know why or has any idea where can I find something like a compatibility matrix between charts?

Thanks and regards,

Bark

Hi Bark,

i dont think there is such an matrix out there. But if i remember correctly, the palettes information are stored as xml files which can be modified and / or customized directly (editor) or even with a own tool, written in  java for example.
In case you need the feature to transport designed palettes this might be a way to go.
Just an idea...
good luck :P
