ColorMix in svgMap Color Expression

ksmith24 — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

Does anyone know if the ColorMix function is supported in the svgMap extension object?

Am attaching a simple QVW with expenses by country.

Am successfully using the ColorMix function as the background color within a straight table.

But it doesn't seem to work in the svg Map object.

Have a duplicate map that simply uses red() as the color, and that works.

Any ideas?

I suspect the SVG extension directly assigns color as standard SVG attribute without any parsing. Syntax for SVG color attribute is here http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/types.html#DataTypeColor

My guess it should support rgb() syntax which in this case is standard CSS syntax, not QlikView's. ColorMix is purely QlikView's function and is not present in SVG standard syntax.

Hi Keith,

you could patch the result to RGB(), if the alpha factor (opacity) is constant 255 (from 2nd and third ColorMix1 parameter):

replace(

ColorMix1 ((1+Sign(2*(sum(Expense)-RangeMin (top(total sum(Expense),1,NoOfRows(total))))/(RangeMax (top(total sum(Expense),1,NoOfRows(total)))-RangeMin (top(total sum(Expense),1,NoOfRows(total))))-1)*Sqrt(Fabs((2*(sum(Expense)-RangeMin (top(total sum(Expense),1,NoOfRows(total))))/(RangeMax (top(total sum(Expense),1,NoOfRows(total)))-RangeMin (top(total sum(Expense),1,NoOfRows(total))))-1))))/2, ARGB(255, 0, 255, 0), ARGB(255, 255, 0, 0))

,'ARGB(255,','RGB(')
