Hi,

If you want colour banding on the plot area you can produce this effect by
adding 3 dummy series and plotting them as stacked column.
The values for each point in each series will be 2% , 2% and 1%.
Format the columns to be the correct colours also remove the border.
On the Format dialogs Options tab set the Gapwidth to 0.

Cheers
Andy

For instance, if I have a single series chart with Y axis from 0% to 5%,
how do I put a red color from 0 to 2%, green from 2 to 4% and blue from 4
to 5%?
