asked on

having a different color for each bar in a cfchart

We are in the process of upgrading to MX from 4.5.  In 4.5 our bar graphs consisted of different colors for each bar on each graph. How can I make this happen in MX using cfchart and cfchartseries?

By default it will do so.

<cfchartseries type="bar" paintstyle="shade" serieslabel="#MyDate#">

If you want to specify WHICH colors are used for each series then use:

seriescolor="yourcolorhere"

such as:

<cfchartseries type="bar" paintstyle="shade" serieslabel="#MyDate#" seriescolor="003399">

I thought that this was the solution until I acutally tried it. This is close to what I need, but not exactly.
An example of a graph that I want is the following:
The count of hits on a homepage by month.
I want the graph to display the # of hits and months.
It should be a bar graph.
****The most important part is that all the bars should be different colors.****
Thanks
