Altering colour of title in Graph (Crystal 9)

[ikirkland]

Hi,

does anyone know how to change the colour of the title in a graph. I am using a basic line graph and I dont want my title to be in red, wish it to be in black....

Cheers,

Ian

Well, I'm almost embarrassed to post this since it's such a non-solution. Have you thought about just putting the title in your report as a text object? Next to, or on top of your graph?
It would certainly have limitations.

Didn't want to do it that way to be honest, makes it harder to implement when you have more than subreport with graphs on and you wish to not show the graph if no records exist. If you did it that way then it would show the title. Just thought there may be a way to override the colour scheme.

Anyone got any ideas???

Right-click on your chart and go to chart expert, the last tab is text, go to the bottom frame where you can format the font of your title.

Unfortunately, this doesnt work as it doesnt allow you to set the colour of the title, only the font size etc....

Yes, this is kind of strange that they wouldn't include that setting, but it doesn't appear to be possible to change the color of the title, just the size. Again with the kludgy non-solution I posted above: you may be able to conditionally supress the title when the graph does not show. Pretty unsatisfactory, I know. :|

Ikirkland, sorry about that, I was zoning yesterday.

Go to preview mode, select only the title and right-click, choose chart option, selected item and the first tab allows you to select whatever font color you want as well as size, sytle, alignment and box.
