The Colors Of Parametric Results Plots

[StuartWilson]

The plot colors are sometimes blue for passing data and sometimes red. Shouldn't this should be consistent? See attached screenshots.

Currently colors for pass/fail are only specifically applied when status is the only grouping and there are two groups (pass and fail). In your image the grouping is Measurement + Status. Red and blue just so happen to be the first two colors in our graph color palette. The order of what is blue/red is dependent on the first encountered group in the data set.

"Status" meaning a Boolean "Pass" or "Fail" and it is currently impossible to have plot colors based on their values relative to limits (which are plotted)?

StuartWilson, status is an enum representing the current state of the test result (so, could be Running/Waiting/Terminated/etc...) not just the Pass/Fail boolean result. 

However, it would be nice to be able to choose the filtering colors instead of it being automatic. I could see how if it selected red and green, but red represented Passed and green represented Failed (maybe blue was Terminated in this case), that it would be confusing to users not used to viewing selections by automated coloring. 

Stuart, are you asking for sigma-based coloring? That could be done in the Jupyter graphing as a report instead of in the built in graphing.

It would be nice to be able to control the colors so that plots can look consistent. Engineers might be able to look passed this but managers and executives are less interested in the granularity of the data and more interested in visual cues.

Thanks for the feedback!
