#333 SymbolicAxis gridband paint should not be hardcoded white

[Marc van Glabbeek]

In org.jfree.chart.axis.SymbolAxis.drawGridBandsHorizontal() and drawGridBandsVertical, the following code is to be found:

if (currentGridBandIsDark) {
g2.setPaint(this.gridBandPaint);
}
else {
g2.setPaint(Color.white);
}

the 'Color.white' shouldn't be hardcoded. I think the best is to make this g2 transparent, so the Plot.backgroundPaint will be visible.

Hi Marc,

Thanks for the request - it sounds sensible to me. I've committed a change to Subversion for inclusion in the 1.0.7 release that will make the default transparent, but also allow the value to be changed via new get/setGridBandAlternatePaint() methods.
