Ampler Charts lets you define a chart theme — the font and the series fill and outline colours — and save it to your library.
Quick answer: Right-click the chart and select Save chart theme, set up the font and the series fill and outline colours, then click Save and choose a library destination.
How to use it
Set the theme’s font and series colours, then save it.
- Right-click on the chart and select Save chart theme.
- Set up the chart font and the series fill and outline colours.
- Click Save and select a destination in your library.
The theme — font and series colours — is saved to your library, ready to apply to other charts.
When to use it
Save a theme to define your chart colour scheme and font once — the house or client palette — so every chart can be put on it consistently.
How consultants use it
A defined chart theme is how a firm keeps its charts on-brand. Three habits apply:
- Define the palette once: the series colours and font are set as a theme
- On the house or client brand: the theme carries the approved colours
- Reusable across charts: the theme is applied to keep charts consistent
Saving a chart theme defines your chart colours and font once, for reuse.
Tips & best practices
- Set the theme colours to your house or client palette.
- Save separate themes where you work for different clients.
- Apply the theme to charts with Apply a theme.
