Adding color palette options to extension properties

stascher — Tue, 10 Oct 2017 20:46:01 GMT

Hi,

I looked around but couldn't find a specific solution to this task.

I'd like to add basic Colors and Legend functionality similar to the what you see below, ie the ability to select a color palette, to a QlikSense extension I'm creating.

I'm okay with only using "standard" or "out of the box" Qlik Sense palettes; no need for custom ones.

Is there a way to reuse an existing property to add this functionality to my extension's properties panel or do I have to build the entire Colors and Legend section from scratch?

Optionally, if someone could point me to an example, that'd be awesome.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi,

From what graph type or extension is the example coming from?

That particular capture is from a visualization library called VizLib, you can google it.

For my purposes, that's just an example of functionality I've seen in many visualizations including those provided by Qlik so I have to imagine there's a fairly common way to include it in an extension.

The solution is to use a properties file similar to what I've attached.
