Following is an example of a basic line chart with a customized background color. We’ve already seen the configuration used to draw this chart in the Google Charts Configuration Syntax chapter. So, let’s see the complete example.
Configurations
We’ve added backgroundColor configuration to change the default background color.
// Set chart options
var options = {
backgroundColor: '#f1f8e9'
};
