I'm having trouble configuring the bar colors for a Kendo UI column chart. Here's the code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="chart"></div>
<script src="js/thirdParty/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="js/thirdParty/kendo.all.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function () {
var data,
dataSource;
data = [{
type: "C1",
amount: 100,
year: 2008,
color: "red"
}, {
type: "C2",
amount: 120,
year: 2008,
color: "blue"
}, {
type: "C2",
amount: 50,
year: 2009,
color: "blue"
}, {
type: "C1",
amount: 10,
year: 2010,
color: "red"
}, {
type: "C1",
amount: 120,
year: 2011,
color: "red"
}, {
type: "C2",
amount: 50,
year: 2011,
color: "blue"
}];
dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
data: data,
group: {
field: "type"
},
sort: { field: "year" }
});
$("#chart").kendoChart({
dataSource: dataSource,
series: [{
type: "column",
field: "amount",
categoryField: "year",
name: "#= group.value #",
colorField: "color"
}],
})
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
I'm trying to get "C1" to be red and "C2" to be blue but the chart renders like in the following screen shot:
Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

After looking into this further, I found that colorField is for setting color to a single point in the series (not to the entire series). I found seriesColors was what I was looking for:

Here is my refactored example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="chart"></div>
<script src="js/thirdParty/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="js/thirdParty/kendo.all.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function () {
var data,
dataSource;
data = [{
type: "C1",
amount: 100,
year: 2008
}, {
type: "C2",
amount: 120,
year: 2008
}, {
type: "C2",
amount: 50,
year: 2009
}, {
type: "C1",
amount: 10,
year: 2010
}, {
type: "C1",
amount: 120,
year: 2011
}, {
type: "C2",
amount: 50,
year: 2011
}];
dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
data: data,
group: {
field: "type"
},
sort: { field: "year" }
});
$("#chart").kendoChart({
dataSource: dataSource,
seriesColors: ["red", "blue"],
series: [{
type: "column",
field: "amount",
categoryField: "year",
name: "#= group.value #"
}],
})
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
