Chart Colors

Search for	Example	Results
A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

The Chart Colors property enables you to set colors for your charts. Provide a semicolon-separated list of RGB color codes in hexadecimal notation.

You can choose the coloring of the first four colors by changing the colors in Visio. However, the colors you specify in the Chart Colors property override the colors defined in Visio.

If you specify only one color, BVD uses this color for the first data field, and uses the Visio-defined colors for data fields two to four. If more than four data fields but no colors are defined, BVD randomly chooses a color for data fields five and higher.

Default: not defined
