Categories and Facets not rendering as different colours
whiteleyrod opened this issue · 8 comments
I seem to be able to add categories and facets just fine to a dataset I have, but each instance represented on a timeline shows up as the same colour. I can change the colour through the picker, which then changes all instances (irrespective of category or facet) in the timeline. The Legend changes colours, just nothing else.
The difference categories are being recognised as you can see here if I select:
Any time I change a colour for a category, everything changes to the most recently selected colour:

Could you provide a test dataset that we can use that exhibits this problem? Thanks
I do not see any file. You may have to go to this issue on GitHub, and attach the file manually on a comment.
Thanks! I'm not seeing the issue, it seems to work on my end.
Is my setup the same? Here was my process:
- Add timeline storyteller
- Add the facet field
- Add the start date field
- Add the category field
- Change colors on the legend
Is this your same process?
Started from scratch and works here too.
All I can think of is that with the original report, I was chopping and changing facets and categories a lot, and perhaps this somehow corrupted things, ie I would put Waviness in as a Facet and IMTD degree as a category, then later remove and swap these, leave out the category, and explore the visualisation. After a couple of iterations, the colour differentiation seemed to break.
Restarting the analysis/visualisation seems to have resolved this, so good to know for next time I stuff things up.
Thanks for taking a look at this, and if I can exactly replicate the workflow for the error I'll repost, otherwise consider this resolved.
No problem, and please do reopen if you figure out the steps.
