Set colors

 


You can set the color scheme used for coding stripes, charts models and other visualizations. By default, NVivo uses random system-generated colors, if you have assigned colors to your sources, nodes or other project items, you may prefer to use the colors you have assigned to project items.

Set the color scheme for the current Detail View

When you display coding stripes or work with charts, models and graphs, NVivo uses the default color scheme—this may be automatic (show random system-generated colors) or item colors (show user assigned colors):

To change the color scheme for the item currently displayed in Detail View:

  • On the View tab, in the Visualization group, click Color Scheme, and then select Automatic or Item Colors.
