overlay gradient not applied when setting series color value.

[Mark]

Hi,

I'm using Kendoui  Dataviz 2012.2.831 build and I'm playing with custom bar colors when using chart type = "column"
If i set a series color in series declaration the columns get rendered flat color, even when I set overlay gradiant value to glass (which is the default value)

            series:
                [{
                    field: "salesValue",
                    name: "Current Year",
                    color: "#ff0000"
                },
                {
                    field: "salesLastYearValue",
                    name: "Last Year",
                    color: "#00ff00",
                    overlay: {
                        gradient: "glass"
                    }
                }],

When I use the new property colorField and provide the same color values as columns im my dataset the chart columns are rendered with glass overlay.

Is this a bug or the normal behavior...

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately I can't reproduce the issue. Could you please tell me in which browser I can reproduce the issue?

All the best,

I have tried to reproduce this again and have to say that you are right, the "glass" effect is still applied, even when setting static color value for series. The problem was the color value itself. With values like "#ff0000" and "#00ff00" the glass effect is not visible, but when inspecting the colors generated on the columns I can see that the columns does not have a flat color.

Sorry for this... maybe this is an indication for my next job.... cleaning up my screen ;-)

Thx for support.
