How to Match Graph Colors in SystemLink and DIAdem Reports

  • SystemLink

I want to match the curve colors in the Report graph generated by the SystemLinkAnalysis script (as shown in the left image) to those in the Report graph created by the DIAdem script (shown in the right image). While this can be achieved by explicitly setting the colors in the script or by using a shared graph template, is there a way to change the default color settings instead?

                                           

 

You can match the graph colors in SystemLink to those in DIAdem by defining a custom report template and modifying the 'Main.vbsa' script to load this template instead of the default one. Within the custom report template, you can adjust the graph colors to align with DIAdem’s color scheme by editing the default color settings accordingly.

The detailed steps for the process described above are as follows:

1) Open the TDR file in DIAdem Report and modify its contents as needed (e.g., adjust graph colors to match DIAdem’s color scheme).
2) Save the modified .TDR file.
3) Replace the existing .TDR file within the .anp project directory, placing it alongside the Main.vbsa script file.

4) Modify the Main.vbsa script to ensure it loads the custom report template created in Step 2.

Both graphs will have the same color.
