Charts are created using a default set of colours for each item. However, you may want to edit these, either for the whole chart or for individual items.
You may edit both the fill colours used for areas, pies and bars, and the line colours used for other objects.
To edit colour in charts:
Double-click on the chart to select it. A double line will appear around the entire chart.
Click the left mouse button on the data in the chart to select the whole data series for editing, or Ctrl-left mouse button on a single data point that you want to edit. A selection border will appear to show the extent of the area which will be changed.
Choose Fill from the Style sub-menu.
The Fill colour dialogue box will appear, captioned with the name of the chart element that you are editing. Choose the colour you want, or select Automatic for Fireworkz to choose a colour for you.
Select the fill style. Solid fills with a solid colour. Picture enables you to import a picture which you can choose from the popup menu. Further options maintain the imported pictures aspect ratio or allow it to be recoloured.
Click OK to confirm your changes. The chart will be updated.
