I'm trying to create a pie chart with a custom set of colours using Am4Charts and the createFromConfig method.

I've followed the tutorial here but the chart keeps appearing with it's default color set.

Here is a sample of the JSON I've tried:

"innerRadius": 100,

"colors": {"list": ["#ff0000", "#00ff00", "#0000ff" ]},

"data": {

  "0": {

    "pot": "Within 8 days",

    "value": "£111,119.70",

  },

  "1": {

    "pot": "9 - 17 days",

    "value": "£225,537.73"

  },

"2": {

    "pot": "18+ days",

    "value": "£720,279.85"

}

},

"legend": ,

"xAxes": [

{

    "type": "CategoryAxis",

    "title": {

    "text": "pot"

    },

    "dataFields": {

    "category": "pot",

    "title": {

        "text": "Month"

    }

    },

    "renderer": {

    "labels": {

        "rotation": 190,

        "verticalCenter": "middle",

        "horizontalCenter": "left"

    }

    }

}

],



"series": [

{

    "type": "PieSeries",

    "dataFields": {

    "value": "value",

    "category": "pot"

    },

    "ticks": {

    "disabled": true

    },

    "labels": {

    "disabled": true

    },



}

],

Can somebody see where I've gone wrong?

Update 1:

Response from amchart contributor/CTO Martynas Majeris (https://github.com/martynasma):

Looks like there are two issues: documentation is wrong and there's a bug that prevents it from working :)

I updated the docs. It should say this:

{

      // ...

      "series": [{

          // ...

          "colors": {

              "list": [

                  "#845EC2",

                  "#D65DB1",

                  "#FF6F91",

                  "#FF9671",

                  "#FFC75F",

                  "#F9F871"

              ]

          }

    }]    

}

Also, fixed bug in dev version. New version will be released within 1-2 days.

This might be a bug and I have opened an issue on amchart github. I will update this once I get a response: https://github.com/amcharts/amcharts4/issues/577

By the way, I do think your configuration JSON has couple issues:

• 
  data is an array, not an object


• 
  legend is an object, not an array

This is what I used to create the pie chart demo for the opened issue:

// Create chart instance in one go

let chart = am4core.createFromConfig({

    "colors": {

        "list": ["#ff0000","#00ff00", "#0000ff"]

    },

    // Create pie series

    "series": [{

        "colors": ["#ff0000","#00ff00", "#0000ff"],

        "type": "PieSeries",

        "dataFields": {

            "value": "value",

            "category": "pot"

        }

    }],

    // Add data

    "data": [{

        "pot": "Within 8 days",

        "value": "£111,119.70"

    }, {

        "pot": "9 - 17 days",

        "value": "£225,537.73"

    }, {

        "pot": "18+ days",

        "value": "£720,279.85"

    }],

    // Add legend

    "legend": {},

    "innerRadius": 100

}, "chart", am4charts.PieChart);
