I'm creating a graph of a linear inequality. I have to plot two lines, then
show the solution region, or a shaded region between the two lines. So in
effect I need to be able to shade a portion of the chart from the Y and X
axis and the two lines that I plot. How can I shade a specific region on a
chart?

Hi,

First try - Use a stacked line chart.

If you don't get any satisfactory answers and the above does not work send
me a sample:



I'll look at it tonight.

WACKEY -

One approach is to use wide-formatted custom error bars (based on worksheet
calculations) with lots of points on an XY (Scatter) chart type.

For a somewhat-relevant example, see

Hi,

Depending on you chart you maybe apply to use extra series plotted as area
to provide the shading.
