GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 102268
order of colors inversed in Asset barchart report
Last modified: 2018-06-29 20:24:08 UTC
In the asset barchart report, with the "stack" option, the colors of the stacked bars are in reverse order wrt the colors of the list on the right of the report which tells which color is for which asset. This makes the report not easy to read.. bars : explainations red yellow - bank blue green - house green blue - car yellow red - others
This is a problem with the Guppi library used by Gnucash. Unfortunately Guppi is no longer supported so we will have to live with this problem for a while.
*** Bug 113777 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Actually I think this problem has been resolved in Guppi's CVS (by me :) on 2002-02-16, see http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/guppi3/ChangeLog but there was never a public release after that. Guppi 0.40.3 was released on 2002-01-18, and there is no public package later than 0.40.3. Maybe we can bug someone to release a Guppi 0.40.4... probably not Jon Trowbridge, but maybe Jody Goldberg <jody@gnome.org> might be up for that... Unfortunately I haven't had the time to test whether this really fixes this bug. I'll reopen this bug until we get a clear statement whether a Guppi 0.40.4 would be possible or not.
Yes, I've just verified that this has been fixed in Guppi CVS. Get Guppi 0.40.4 aka Guppi CVS (and a small fix in GnuCash which I just committed), and then it works again. Checkout from CVS is described on http://developer.gnome.org/tools/cvs.html , and the module you need to get is named "guppi3".
One additional remark: The necessary change in the Guppi library is not very difficult, and in fact there is a patch included in the gnucash package under lib/guppi-legend.patch (see lib/README). By applying this patch to Guppi 0.40.3 (and compiling and installing), you will have this bug fixed even without having to mess with CVS.
