[pramod]

BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(300, 100,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB); // Image object to paint with
Graphics2D g = image.createGraphics(); // Get graphics context
(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON); g.setBackground(Color.blue);


Rectangle2D rectangle = new Rectangle2D.Double(0, 0, 300, 100);



CategoryPlot plot = chart.getCategoryPlot();


plot.drawOutlineAndBackground(g,rectangle);

It looks like it should work. Any exceptions or other errors?
