This example illustrates adding marks and zones to the chart, and adding custom legend keys to represent the zones.
A "mark" is a line drawn in the plot area. The purple "Alert" line and the green "Watch" line on the chart are mark lines. It is added to the chart using
Axis.addMark.
Mark lines can be horizontal or vertical, depending on which axis the marks are defined on. Marks can be drawn on the front of the plot area (the default), or at the back like grid lines. This is configued using
Mark.setDrawOnTop.
A "zone" is a color band on the back of the plot area. In this example, the red, yellow and green areas are zones. They are added to the chart using
Axis.addZone. Like marks, zones can be horizontal or vertical.
In this example,
LegendBox.addKey is used to add the names of the zones to the legend box as custom entries.
