Hello,

I tried to put geoJson shapes in my map. works fine, but colors don't change as requested. I create a collection and pointed the shapes color to the column color, but this doesn't work.

Any idea about what I'm doing wrong ?

best regards

Paul

@polo1604 could you change the RGBA(0;128;0;1) to "RGB(0,128,0)" (with quotes).
Should that not work try your syntax variant (; instead of ,) "RGB(0;128;0)".

Changing the RGBA to a string RGB value fixed the issue during my testing.

If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution.

@LaurensM

thanks for your message, but changing to a string RGB did not work, neither with ";" nor with ",".

Hello,
there is no way to put the color value in a string.
I tried this, the color is shown in the collection (table) but not interpreted by the shape color..

Hi @polo1604 indeed that was also the case with my test.
However swapping this to {color: "RGB(0,128,0)"; ....} fixed it for me.

Hi @LaurensM

thanks very much for your help!

it looks like as there is a standard color which is overwriting my collection. is there somewhere a standard color of shapes ?

@polo1604 the shapes have a default color (blue) if no valid color is chosen (it will not overwrite a valid custom color).
I tried it again and the "RGB(0,128,0)" worked and I have noted down the necessary steps.

Could you give this another try:

Change your RGBA() to "RGB(0,128,0)" (with double quotes, so as a string value)
{color: "RGB(0,128,0)"; Lbl: .....}
ClearCollect your collection
Remove your "color" from the shape_colors
Add "color" again in the shape_colors property
After readding "color" in the shape_colors property, the shape should now have the correct color.

I hope this helps!

@polo1604 could you try renaming Circle to Circle1 for a second to see if the error still occurs?
Should the error disappear, use Circle1 as datasource for the map during this test.
