How do I get a gradient background in graph builder

I want to create a scatter plot with 9 squares that looks like a McKinsey GE matrix, and plot data points in those squares. If the bottom left equals the lowest values and top right the highest value, I would like to have a gradient diagonal background, starting with red in the lower left corner and green in the top right with a yellow band in the middle (see attached jpg). In excel I can do this in a scatter plot. How do I create this background in graph builder?

Re: How do I get a gradient background in graph builder

I was able to add the gradient as a background image, and then overlayed data on top of it.  I am using the .jpg that you supplied.  You would need to create a separate image.  I believe that it could be build using a graph box() in JMP.

Here is the JSL

Re: How do I get a gradient background in graph builder

Thanks Jim,

 

Apparently a bit more complex than excel.
