My advice is to use solid fills. Not only is it simpler, but sometimes
gradients can distract the reader or imply certain things about the data.

I have a bar chart with gradient fills. The bar chart has a max value set
so
some bars are cut off. This chart is displayed in a picture link. In this
picture the bars continue "through the roof" of the chart. Has anyone else
encountered this? I can solve it by having solid fills, is there another
way?
