I am trying to change the background color of jfreechart. 
It is displaying in grey color and I want a white background. 
I have tried

```
chart.setBackgroundPaint(Color.WHITE); 

```

However it does not show me the white background.  

I have the following code that displays the the plot

```
chart = ChartFactory.createXYLineChart("Line Chart","Year","Temperature", dataset);
ChartPanel chartPanel = new ChartPanel(chart, false);
graph1.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
graph1.add(chartPanel, BorderLayout.EAST);
graph1.add(chartPanel);
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this);
graph1.updateUI();
System.out.println("Database created successfully...");

```

How should I set a white background?
