title: Highchart: Background color of Axis
body: <p>I saw a similar question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15744343/highcharts-js-background-color-of-axis-only">here</a>. </p>
  
  <p>In reply its written that we can have background color by making a rectangle.</p>
  
  <p>My question is how I can get <code>x</code> and <code>Y</code> position of all the ticks on axis. I will need it because I want background color only on alternate dates.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
