How to change font sizes and colors for pie chart legends

yatinrao — Wed, 18 Sep 2019 15:46:06 GMT

Hello

How do I change the size, color of legends in in SAS Viya 3.4 - Visual Analytics (Report builder) ?

I imported a report built in VA 7.3 into Viya 3.4. one of the pie charts the legends are too large and white on white.

I can change the background to something dark but not the color and size of the font .

Hello Yatin,

Generally Visual Analytics does not hard-code font sizes in a report so that fonts can be resized as appropriate for different devices.

I am curious about the legend text being white, however. Do you have a customized report theme, or are you using one of the default themes?

If you create a pie chart in a new report, do you have the same issue with legends?

Thanks,
Sam

Hello Sam

This report was developed in 7.3 VA . I did not use any customized theme just default.

Interestingly this issue applies to imported report.
New pie chart created in Viya does not seem to have this problem.
after few attempts to correct, this the imported report seem to have been corrupted and wont open in report viewer. I can still be edited and saved.

Thanks
Yatin

Assuming it is not trivial to re-create the report, I would recommend that you contact SAS Technical Support to get some help fixing the report source.

This report was not difficult to reproduce but I have lot more that will need to be migrated and cannot afford to spend time recreating. I will make one more attempt at another report before contacting support.

Thanks
