Hello,

is this kind of chart possible : 54 axes divided in 5 groups; each group identified by a color; the area defined by a group is painted with its color.

I could find a way of doing it.

Thanks for any good idea!

Regards

Hi Alain,

Yes, it can be done with the following methods:

For the labels, you can use CDML to specify the color of the labels. For example, instead of using "(123)", you can use "<*color=FF0000*>(123)". The label will then be in color FF0000 (the red color). For what is CDML, see:

https://www.advsofteng.com/doc/cdcpp.htm#cdml.htm

For the areas, you can add 5 polar area layers for the 5 regions. There is an example of a polar area chart in the ChartDirector distribution:

https://www.advsofteng.com/doc/cdcpp.htm#polararea.htm

In the above examples, there are 3 layers for the 3 colors. For your case, for each layer, you can set some of the radial values to 0. For example, you can use {12, 9, 14, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...}. In this case, the area will only cover the first 3 axes, as all the other points will be at the origin, You can use this method to create the 5 regions.

Hope this can help.
