Force Directed graph node colors

[amitkumar82]

Hello,

I am using force directed graphs and trying to set colors for specific joins between nodes. I am using Link Type property to set colors. However, whatever hexadecimal color value I choose the diaply arrows are only black or green ?

Hi @amitkumar82

It is the default design of Force-Directed Graph visual. Here is the sample file for your reference. If you add the 'Weight' value, the arrows' colors could be changed.

HI,

Thank you for your response.

1. I was planning to put specifc colors for come nodes and the directions between them instead for some dynamic color. 

2. Also I dont see option to add legends for graph.

3. The node color is also Grey. No option to modify that.

I'm in the same situation; I have a column with only three values that I want to use to characterise the link, but the FDG will only use two colours; very frustrating; why can't it do what Power BI does elsewhere, and allocate colour automatically to values as they occur; naturally, colours only make sense if you have a small number of values, perhaps about 4
