Hello,

I created a certain shape in a graph to be applied to further graphs with the same theme. I initially saw the shape was not being created when I applied the theme in other graphs, so I believed it wasn't getting stored.

To get the shape in all graphs, I saved it as an .ogo file and applied it through all graphs programmatically.

The thing is, when I opened Theme Organizer to check some other information on said theme, I did see shape properties such as pattern, color and position that coincided with those I had specified.

Why isn't it showing if I apply that theme on another graph, then?

It might be of importance that the coordinates had top and left parameters in Theme Organizer; when I applied the .ogo file, if position coordinates were top and left, they didn't show in the correct position, I had to specify x and y values.

Hello,

I am not sure what you meant by apply to further graphs with same theme. Do you mean apply to other graphs with same dimension, same plot type?


Are you trying to put some logo or shape to all your graphs? If so, instead of using theme, maybe you can try using our Master Page feature

You can create image, shape, etc. on the master page. It can be applied to graphs in your project.


Thanks, Snow

Sorry for taking so long to answer.

The shape is not a logo or anything of the sort, is a shaded area to highlight a specific part in the graph. I need to add it to a nunmber of them.

While the idea of applying a master page in interesting, and I will definitely try it, what I don't understand is why it seems to appear in my theme, since I can see it when I try to edit it in Theme Organizer, but will not show in the graph if I apply said theme.

It seems weird.
