Changing the Shading Color of an Icon 5.6
Icon color
shading for
individual
entities with
different
representations
You can shade the icons on your chart with a specific color. This is useful if you
want to bring some realism to your charts, that is, to show the icons with the colors
more as they appear in real life. For example, you can display a green truck, a
black suitcase, and pink house on your chart.
Before shading After shading
Icon shading can be applied to individual entities, and to entity types so that all
entities added to the chart of a particular type use the same color shading. Color
shading applies to entities that are represented as icons, and theme lines and
event frames that display icons. The following chart example shows how icon color
shading could be used in your charts.
