background on plot area

[SCompliance]

It would great if you could add an option to color the background of the plot area instead of the whole chart

@scompliance,

Thanks for your feedback. We will add it to our wishlist. In the meantime, you can use stripline to apply background color to the plotarea as a workaround. Please refer to this JSFiddle for an example of the same.

the issue with this approach is that it overrides other striplines in some cases

@scompliance,

Setting the stripline that is used to set the background color to be the first in the stripLines array should work fine in this case. Please take a look at this updated JSFiddle for an example of the same.
