Hi Tyler, Not sure whether this is what you are looking for, but the following thread, "Gradient fill as Background for Plot", might be of some help: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica/msg/10df9c064cfc1039 HTH (and that you won't have to hurt yourself anymore :-)] -- Jean-Marc
