Hi ,

Anyone can help me with a very easy thing?

I want to change the grey background color of a lines graphic...

Does anyone knows what option changes the grey color i am pointing in the image?



Tanks in advance!

Click on the chart and use the ancestor button to get to the Combination Chart (highest level) properties. Look in the Color & Background section for a property called "Plot Area Fill." There you will find options to change the color and style of the grid area.

Hi , thank you for the response.

I have chosen red as plot area fill , green.. and it works as you say.

The problem is when i choose white color , white color is not applied to the chart , grey color stays when white color is chosen...

These colours are part of the "Gridlines" attribute, in your case from your Y axis. Select the Y axis, click on the [...] on the right of "Gridlines" and uncheck "Show alternating color bands". That should do the trick.

Also, I suggest you use transparent instead of white when possible for backgrounds.
Few can be done on Cognos | RTFM for those who ask basic questions...
