Combo chart colors in report

karolina_ — Mon, 12 Jun 2017 17:43:28 GMT

Hi Guys,

I have a problem with combo chart color in report.

When printing to PDF report from application opened in QV Desktop the colors are ok, but when I print the same from application opened in either IE or Chrome bars are grey,

Anyone have an advice?

Please, enter in the object properties -> Color tab and check if the option ' Use patterns instead of colors: When printing' is unchecked.

from QV internal help:

User Preferences: Printing

In the Chart Colors group, you may specify an override setting for all output from charts. You can select one of three alternative settings:

Use Chart Settings	The intrinsic chart settings regarding color or b/w will always be used.
Force Color	All bitmap charts will be printed in color, irrespective of their Colors settings in the document.
Force Replace Colors with Patterns

Chart Properties: Colors

Use Patterns instead of Colors

When printing
The chart will be printed in black and white, with bar areas hatched. If unchecked, a monochrome printer will use gray scaling instead.

On screen
Displays the chart with hatched bar areas.

these are the only ways to control the printing of charts in color

Try making the chart from scratch again...
