I know that the easy chart has all sorts of data available for scripting  
e.g. I can get a list of tagpaths using

`easyChart = event.source.parent.getComponent("Easy Chart")
system.dataset.toPyDataSet(easyChart.tagPens)
`

What I’d like is to get the current trend colour for each pen, I found “getAutoColorList” & “autoColorPens” but I’m not sure how they would function, or if they would still be true if a user manually changed a pen colour. Any pointers

Thank you.

Hi Chris,

You have the current trend color for each pen in the easyChart.tagPens dataset. The column is “Color”.

Best,

Ha, I forgot the golden rule, keep it simple.

Thanks
