Sample 42893: Shade the graph background for a data range
 |  |  |  |  |  |
This sample illustrates how to use an Annotate data set to shade background areas on the graph for a given data range on the X axis. In this sample, areas are shaded between specified date ranges to highlight periods of economic recession.
