Example - Defining colour
If you had a column named
Country you would add a column called Country__colour (or Country__color) containing colour values. Colours are defined using standard HEX colour codes or valid HTML5 colour names. A colour wheel allowing you to pick colours can be found here: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=color+picker.Unlike the previous versions of Microreact, there is no need to append
__autocolour to column names to assign random colours to unique values of the column. Any column can be used for auto-colour in the new version of Microreact.Example - Defining shape
If you had a column named
Country you would add a column called Country__shape.Shapes are defined using one of the following values:
