Positive Negative Bars

This example demonstrates a bar chart containing positive and negative data, represented by different colors.

In this example, the two colors of the plot area background are configured using background zones, while the bar colors are configured by splitting the bars into two layers.

Use XYChart.addBarLayer2 with Overlay to add an overlay bar layer to the chart.
Use ArrayMath.selectGEZ to select the data values greater than or equal to zero and use Layer.addDataSet to add them as the blue data set.
Use ArrayMath.selectLTZ to select the data values less than zero and use Layer.addDataSet to add them as the orange data set.
Use Layer.yZoneColor to create a y-zone color, which is blue for y >= 0 and orange for y < 0, and use Layer.setAggregateLabelStyle to apply it as the bar label color.
Use Axis.addZone to add two background zones for y >= 0 and y < 0.
