What is Color Binding

Instead of static colors, a series color can be calculated using a condition based on the data.
With Color Bindings, you configure a condition, so that when Field = Value then the color is applied.

Example

On a Column Chart with a blue series :

Chart ColorBinding runtime before

… you want the color to become red in some conditions :

Chart ColorBinding runtime after

Enabling Color Binding

Edit the Series Settings, in tab Advanced, check Color Bindings to enable the feature :

Chart ColorBinding enable

Selecting a field

Select a Color Field from the existing fields in the chart query, or click the + icon to add a new aggregated field to the query :

Chart ColorBinding field add

Select the desired aggregation and field, and click the check icon to validate :

Chart ColorBinding field validate

Managing conditions

Based on the selected field, several conditions can be configured : Field = Value1, Field = Value2, …

Adding a condition

Click the + icon on top of the list to add a condition :

Chart ColorBinding condition add

Configuring a condition

Configure a Data Value and a Target Color so that when Field = DataValue, then the color of the series turns into Target Color :

Chart ColorBinding condition configure

Removing a condition

If you wish to remove a condition from the list, select it by clicking it, then remove it using the trash icon :

Chart ColorBinding condition remove
