Hi,

I have a report based on a line chart.

The values on X-axis are scaled from -100 to +100. I want to colour the band from -100 to 0 with red colour and that from 0 to +100 in green colour, and i want to provide legend for these bands/sections. How can i do this?

This doesn't look like a tough thing to do but i can't find a way to do it within the chart properties.

Basically i would like to divide the chart (plot area) into multiple vertical bars, each having a different colour. The colour is determined by the range that vertical bar covers on the x-axis

Thanks a lot!

Hi There !
           You can divide the background of the chart by using gradient.However its only restricted to 2 colors ( what i assume ). You can add the 3rd color too but then the 3 colors will blend into one another as one color transits to another.

Here's the code that might solve your problem.


     <mx:fill>

   <mx:LinearGradient angle="270">
    <mx:entries>
     <mx:GradientEntry color="#005500" ratio="0.5" alpha="0.9" />
     <mx:GradientEntry color="#ffff00" ratio="0" alpha="1.0"/>

     <mx:GradientEntry color="#ff0000" ratio="0.9" alpha="0.9"/>
     </mx:entries>
   </mx:LinearGradient>
    </mx:fill>


take care ..
