SpreadJS provides support for transparency while configuring different chart elements to allow users to customize the chart area background color, the chart data labels, chart axes, series, etc.
The following image shows a chart depicting the Sales data for four different countries wherein different chart elements have been customized to set transparency.
The following code sample shows how to set chart color with transparency.
