Vaadin Charts separate background colors

I am attempting to make a scatter chart that appears similarly to the one pictured above.  To get the chart to look the way it does now, I combined the polygon chart and the scatter chart to set 4 rectangular colored sections which are supposed to represent the backgrounds.  This posed some issues as all of the sections covered the gridlines.  To fix that I creted some custom lines and put those over the original polygons in order to make it look like they are still there.  The final issue I am left with however, is that when the gridlines I made lineup with the points, the points are overlapped by the lines which does not make any sense.  I have tried many things to get the points to show on top but I have yet to figure out how.

Is there a way to make the points appear above user defined plotlines?  If not, is there a better way to create seperately colored background sections without kind of faking it using polygon charts?

P.S.  this is done using the elements API and is implemented with polymer.  please let me know if you have an idea that may help me.

Hi,

Have you tried using RGBA to set transparent colors to avoid hiding the gridlines?

I did a small example based on our Scatter and Polygon combination demo and seems to work: chart with multiple backgrounds

Axes need to have extremes set to be able to cover the full plot area with the polygons.

I also disabled marker hover and show in legend for polymer series.

Hope this helps!
