Coloring individual columns of a column chart (Google Visualization)
Now before i get into the nuts and bolts of my problem. I must confess that i was quite skeptical about the google charts API, mainly because of using the mostly awesome Jfreecharts in the past. However having used it for a bit now, i am warming up to the idea of it, because quite frankly it is much simpler to use. You are likely to have a "cool" looking chart with tooltips etc in a much shorter time when compared to JFreeCharts. Anyway so about my problem, recently i was asked to create a column chart such that each column is colored differently. My data looked something like this var data = google . visualization . arrayToDataTable ( [ [ 'Year' , 'Games Finished' ] , [ '2003' , 12 ] , [ '2004' , 6 ] , [ '2005' , 15 ] , ] ) ; The problem with this was that each column in the column chart is the same...
