Highlight Background Bars

[Venerons]

I have not found this feature neither an alternative way to accomplish this, so I'd like to submit a feature request if possible.

What I'd like to have is the feature to specify some regions to highlight on the chart, so between the given ranges (on the example based on X axis, but would be cool if also available on Y axis) the background is of a different, specified, color.

What I mean is something similar to the orange and darkgrey zones in the following example:

Does the temperature example here do what you want? Note that you can change the color of those sections if you would like

The json for the layout in that example is:

  "layout": {
    "width": 500,
    "shapes": [
      {
        "opacity": 0.2,
        "x0": "2015-02-04",
        "x1": "2015-02-06",
        "y0": 0,
        "type": "rect",
        "y1": 1,
        "fillcolor": "#d3d3d3",
        "line": {
          "width": 0
        },
        "xref": "x",
        "yref": "paper"
      },
      {
        "opacity": 0.2,
        "x0": "2015-02-20",
        "x1": "2015-02-22",
        "y0": 0,
        "type": "rect",
        "y1": 1,
        "fillcolor": "#d3d3d3",
        "line": {
          "width": 0
        },
        "xref": "x",
        "yref": "paper"
      }
    ],
    "height": 500
  }
