Pattern Fill

Norman Lim Oct 31, 2014 12:09 AM

Hi,

does anyone has any idea to have pattern fill for the graphics instead of solid colours? This is more for printing them in black and white. Something similar to what EXCEL has.

Regards,

Norman

To expand on what Shawn said...
Pattern fill colors are not a visual best practice. Tableau was built from the ground up with best practices in mind....hence, not having this functionality. Try using different shades of hue for printing purposes.
