How to change the color of many histogram distributions?

Hi,

I am plotting 64 histogram distributions and stack them together. I like to change the color of each histogram different. You can manually do this but how one can change this automatically?

 

I appreciate your help. Thanks

Thanks Jim. I will give it a try.

The simple answer is yes......however, using a For() loop and Substitution you can just loop through the 64 histograms you want and generate the necessary code

Thanks Jim. Does it mean I have to do this for 64 Histograms that I want to build and stack them together?

The Histogram Color is programatically available to JSL.  You can fairly easily write a script to do this.  Here is the result of just using Customize and then having the platform generate the script for the modification

Distribution(
 Stack( 1 ),
 Continuous Distribution(
  Column( :height ),
  Horizontal Layout( 1 ),
  Vertical( 0 )
 ),
 Continuous Distribution(
  Column( :weight ),
  Horizontal Layout( 1 ),
  Vertical( 0 )
 ),
 SendToReport(
  Dispatch(
   {"height"},
   "Distrib Histogram",
   FrameBox,
   {DispatchSeg(
    Hist Seg( 1 ),
    {Line Color( {108, 60, 65} ), Fill Color( "Medium Light Green" )}
   )}
  ),
  Dispatch(
   {"weight"},
   "Distrib Histogram",
   FrameBox,
   {DispatchSeg(
    Hist Seg( 1 ),
    {Line Color( {108, 60, 65} ), Fill Color( "Red" )}
   )}
  )
 )
);
