Parametric Styles

pygal provides 5 parametric styles:

Usage

A parametric style is initiated with a default color and the other are generated from this one:

from pygal.style import LightenStyle
dark_lighten_style = LightenStyle('#336676')
chart = pygal.StackedLine(fill=True, interpolate='cubic', style=dark_lighten_style)
chart.add('A', [1, 3,  5, 16, 13, 3,  7])
chart.add('B', [5, 2,  3,  2,  5, 7, 17])
chart.add('C', [6, 10, 9,  7,  3, 1,  0])
chart.add('D', [2,  3, 5,  9, 12, 9,  5])
chart.add('E', [7,  4, 2,  1,  2, 10, 0])
chart.render()

You can set the step parameter to tell between how much colors the color modifier will be applied

from pygal.style import LightenStyle
dark_lighten_style = LightenStyle('#336676', step=5)
chart = pygal.StackedLine(fill=True, interpolate='cubic', style=dark_lighten_style)
chart.add('A', [1, 3,  5, 16, 13, 3,  7])
chart.add('B', [5, 2,  3,  2,  5, 7, 17])
chart.add('C', [6, 10, 9,  7,  3, 1,  0])
chart.add('D', [2,  3, 5,  9, 12, 9,  5])
chart.add('E', [7,  4, 2,  1,  2, 10, 0])
chart.render()

and the max_ to limit the amplitude at a certain value (in % for all color operation except rotate which is 360):

from pygal.style import LightenStyle
dark_lighten_style = LightenStyle('#336676', step=5, max_=10)
chart = pygal.StackedLine(fill=True, interpolate='cubic', style=dark_lighten_style)
chart.add('A', [1, 3,  5, 16, 13, 3,  7])
chart.add('B', [5, 2,  3,  2,  5, 7, 17])
chart.add('C', [6, 10, 9,  7,  3, 1,  0])
chart.add('D', [2,  3, 5,  9, 12, 9,  5])
chart.add('E', [7,  4, 2,  1,  2, 10, 0])
chart.render()

You can tell the style to inheritate all the styles from another theme:

from pygal.style import LightenStyle, LightColorizedStyle
dark_lighten_style = LightenStyle('#336676', base_style=LightColorizedStyle)
chart = pygal.StackedLine(fill=True, interpolate='cubic', style=dark_lighten_style)
chart.add('A', [1, 3,  5, 16, 13, 3,  7])
chart.add('B', [5, 2,  3,  2,  5, 7, 17])
chart.add('C', [6, 10, 9,  7,  3, 1,  0])
chart.add('D', [2,  3, 5,  9, 12, 9,  5])
chart.add('E', [7,  4, 2,  1,  2, 10, 0])
chart.render()

And you can manually set the properties just like any other theme:

from pygal.style import LightenStyle, LightColorizedStyle
dark_lighten_style = LightenStyle('#336676', base_style=LightColorizedStyle)
dark_lighten_style.background = '#ffcccc'
chart = pygal.StackedLine(fill=True, interpolate='cubic', style=dark_lighten_style)
chart.add('A', [1, 3,  5, 16, 13, 3,  7])
chart.add('B', [5, 2,  3,  2,  5, 7, 17])
chart.add('C', [6, 10, 9,  7,  3, 1,  0])
chart.add('D', [2,  3, 5,  9, 12, 9,  5])
chart.add('E', [7,  4, 2,  1,  2, 10, 0])
chart.render()

Styles

chart.add('B', [5, 2,  3,  2,  5, 7, 17])
chart.add('C', [6, 10, 9,  7,  3, 1,  0])
chart.add('D', [2,  3, 5,  9, 12, 9,  5])
chart.add('E', [7,  4, 2,  1,  2, 10, 0])
chart.render()
from pygal.style import RotateStyle, LightColorizedStyle
