Background for a Categorie

[Markus]

Hi,

could someone tell me how to set the backgroundcolor for a categorie in a 3D bar-chart ?

Thank you

I'm not sure what you mean by the background color for a category.

So i describe the chart ...

The bar shows how much a branch office has sold of a produkt for the last 4 years. so the x-axis shows the years, and the y-axis the sales. Each year has a group of two bars, the amount the branch office has sold and the average amount simmilar branch offices have sold. A further information i'd like to show is, to which categorie (very small, small, big ...) this branch office belongs over the years. Therefore i would like to show behind the bars a color identifying this categorie. So the chartbackground for the year 1998, should be yellow, for 1998 orange ... and so on.

Regards
Markus

You could try subclassing the VerticalBarRenderer class, and overriding the drawPlotBackground method.
