Colors & series styling

Style series using stable IDs and supported visual channels. This feature belongs to @revolist/charts and can be used without Pivot or a grid.

Try it live

Choose Change settings to swap the series colors. The sample uses grouped columns and explicit revenue/costs series IDs.

Other supported contracts include semantic measure/member colors, patterns, conditional or continuous value maps, and line dash/marker settings. Their availability differs by type; inspect getChartDefinition(type).appearance.

The chart uses the native Charts renderer. Buttons outside the plot are example application controls calling the public API.

Complete chart setup with sample data

Install Charts using the installation guide, then run this setup after the host mounts. The data is illustrative. Additional actions for this tool are explained below.

import { lineChart } from '@revolist/charts/line';
import { groupedColumnChart } from '@revolist/charts/grouped-column';
import { columnLineChart } from '@revolist/charts/column-line';

API and configuration

await chart.update({ seriesOverrides: {
  ...chart.model.seriesOverrides,
  revenue: { ...chart.model.seriesOverrides?.revenue, color: '#009b72' },
  costs: { ...chart.model.seriesOverrides?.costs, color: '#e65b7a' },
} });

Support and behavior

Register only supported settings for the chosen type: columns do not have line markers, and not every chart supports value maps or patterns. IDs are stable data IDs, not labels. Renderer palettes are runtime configuration; serialized colors and series overrides belong to the model.

State and cleanup

Authored settings are available through chart.model. Updates replace whole settings objects: spread fields you want to retain, and await the returned promise before reading state or exporting. Destroy the controller when its host unmounts.
