[ARUN KUMAR MK]

I have taken code of the pie chart from jira charting plugin. I wanted to use the Fixed colors like RED,GREEN and YELLOW, instead of the other colors, In code how to fix the colors and where to add the code for that?

In Workload Pie chart  Java class, they have used JFREE CHART library for generating the Pie chart. I have referred to the below link and used the Colors for filling it in the Segments. It Worked well. Thanks for your Reply's Nic.

Excellent.  Thanks for posting what you've found back too, it's good to know it can be done and where to look!

For those not looking to develop their own fix, it's pretty easy just to choose the colors of the pie charts using the Custom Jira Charts for Confluence add-on.

You'll need to change the code of the gadget to get it to use the colours differently.  It's not that huge a codebase if you can find it in the source download.

Yes Nic, You have already said that and i couldn't get access to source code, so i am trying it using JIRA ChARTING PLUGIN. I am unable to find where the color is getting generated, later i found that JFREECHART is doing that a method called generatechart() is creating a chart. but still i am unable to get into that method for finding the color related code. Need help related to coding?

By default it fetches blue color on the pie chart, i doesn't want the blue color at all, need some other color, i couldn't go on to the line which describes the color on the JIRA Charting Plugins code.

I don't know, I haven't got the source code to read for you.
