It did not work. There may be some trick with it but I
couldn't find it either.

OK let me explain a bit more.
Category data is one year date, yet, it is not 365 days.
Some skipps here and there throughout, therefore, there
is a space among columns accordingly. I am trying to fill
the space out by creating secondary X axis. (I hope I am
doing right.)

By doing so, I can successfully fill the space by making
a bit of change (making weight thiker, etc.) But I don't
know how to make the area (that is a plot area without
secondary X axis) gradient.

Thanks.

right click on the 'volume' data series and

click 'fill effects'. from there you can pick your
gradient colours.

I created a typical price&volume graph. Price/XY,
Volume/Column. I put Secondary Category (X), Category
in
order not to break columns.

Q. How could I change Volume's color (on Secondary X
axis) to gradient (two colors)?
