There is no option to do this with chartjs. However you can write your own plugin and draw the background by yourself in the beforeDraw hook for example.
var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
plugins: [{
beforeDraw: function(chart) {
//..
}
}]
});
You can get all the information to calculate the height of an y-axis-segment from the chart parameter.
I’ve included a snippet below how this could be implemented. Note however that this is more a proof of concept than a proper implementation:
var canvas = document.getElementById('myChart');
window.chartColors = {
red: 'rgb(255, 99, 132)',
orange: 'rgb(255, 159, 64)',
yellow: 'rgb(255, 205, 86)',
green: 'rgb(51, 204, 51)',
blue: 'rgb(54, 162, 235)',
purple: 'rgb(153, 102, 255)',
grey: 'rgb(201, 203, 207)'
};
var myLineChart = new Chart(canvas,
{
type: 'line',
data: {
labels: ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5'],
datasets: [
{
label: '# of Votes',
fill: false,
backgroundColor: window.chartColors.blue,
borderColor: window.chartColors.blue,
data: [2, 5, 12.5, 9, 6.3]
}
]
},
options: {
responsive: true,
title: {
display: true,
text: 'Conditional Background'
},
backgroundRules: [{
backgroundColor: window.chartColors.green,
yAxisSegement: 6
}, {
backgroundColor: window.chartColors.grey,
yAxisSegement: 12
}, {
backgroundColor: window.chartColors.red,
yAxisSegement: Infinity
}],
scales: {
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
beginAtZero: true,
stepSize: 1
}
}]
}
},
plugins: [{
beforeDraw: function (chart) {
var ctx = chart.chart.ctx;
var ruleIndex = 0;
var rules = chart.chart.options.backgroundRules;
var yaxis = chart.chart.scales["y-axis-0"];
var xaxis = chart.chart.scales["x-axis-0"];
var partPercentage = 1 / (yaxis.ticksAsNumbers.length - 1);
for (var i = yaxis.ticksAsNumbers.length - 1; i > 0; i--) {
if (yaxis.ticksAsNumbers[i] < rules[ruleIndex].yAxisSegement) {
ctx.fillStyle = rules[ruleIndex].backgroundColor;
ctx.fillRect(xaxis.left, yaxis.top + ((i - 1) * (yaxis.height * partPercentage)), xaxis.width, yaxis.height * partPercentage);
} else {
ruleIndex++;
i++;
}
}
}
}]

Shiffty’s answer is right on point, however it only works if the background values are present on the yAxis, which is not always the case… depends on what fits. A more generic solution is to calculate the actual values:
var canvas = document.getElementById('myChart');
window.chartColors = {
red: 'rgb(255, 99, 132)',
orange: 'rgb(255, 159, 64)',
yellow: 'rgb(255, 205, 86)',
green: 'rgb(51, 204, 51)',
blue: 'rgb(54, 162, 235)',
purple: 'rgb(153, 102, 255)',
grey: 'rgb(201, 203, 207)'
};
var myLineChart = new Chart(canvas,
{
type: 'line',
data: {
labels: ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5'],
datasets: [
{
label: '# of Votes',
fill: false,
backgroundColor: window.chartColors.blue,
borderColor: window.chartColors.blue,
data: [2, 5, 12.5, 9, 6.3]
}
]
},
options: {
responsive: true,
title: {
display: true,
text: 'Conditional Background'
},
backgroundRules: [{
backgroundColor: window.chartColors.green,
yAxisSegement: 6
}, {
backgroundColor: window.chartColors.grey,
yAxisSegement: 12
}, {
backgroundColor: window.chartColors.red,
yAxisSegement: 999999
}],
scales: {
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
beginAtZero: true,
stepSize: 1
}
}]
}
},
plugins: [{
beforeDraw: function (chart) {
var rules = chart.chart.options.backgroundRules;
var ctx = chart.chart.ctx;
var yAxis = chart.chart.scales["y-axis-0"];
var xaxis = chart.chart.scales["x-axis-0"];
for (var i = 0; i < rules.length; ++i) {
var yAxisSegement = (rules[i].yAxisSegement > yAxis.ticksAsNumbers[0] ? yAxis.ticksAsNumbers[0] : rules[i].yAxisSegement);
var yAxisPosStart = yAxis.height - ((yAxisSegement * yAxis.height) / yAxis.ticksAsNumbers[0]) + chart.chart.controller.chartArea.top;
var yAxisPosEnd = (i === 0 ? yAxis.height : yAxis.height - ((rules[i - 1].yAxisSegement * yAxis.height) / yAxis.ticksAsNumbers[0]));
ctx.fillStyle = rules[i].backgroundColor;
ctx.fillRect(xaxis.left, yAxisPosStart, xaxis.width, yAxisPosEnd - yAxisPosStart + chart.chart.controller.chartArea.top);
}
}
}]
});
