Frame.ShowOnBackground Property (ExOrgChart)

By default, the ShowOnBackground property is True, which indicates that the frame is shown on the back of the chart. The ShowOnBackground property specifies whether the frame is shown on the back or front of the chart. The Visible property shows or hides a specified frame. The Remove method removes a specified frame. The Clear method removes all Frame objects.

The following sample shows how you can can draw a pattern on a node:
