Dear all,
I am trying to prepare some figures where I'd like the color of the plot
region
(i.e., the area bounded by the axes) to be different from the margin area
(i.e., the area of the figure not within the axes region). I can use
"bg" but
that changes the background of everything? How can I accomplish what I want?
Thanks,
Ramon

Use "par" to find out where the boundaries/axes are, and
"rect" to draw
the picture ... the 6th plot in demo(graphics) does the same thing.
For example:
## code for coloring background
x <- runif(10)
y <- runif(10)
plot(x,y,type="n")
u <- par("usr")
rect(u[1],u[3],u[2],u[4],col="magenta")
points(x,y)

Thank you very much to P. Dalgaard, E. Paradis and B. Bolker for their answers. Basically, the 6th example in demo(graphics) shows how to do it: specify bg, then use par to find boundaries of axes, color that rectangle with rect, and add the points/lines.> x <- rnorm(10) > par(bg= "red") > plot(x, type= "n") > usr <- par("usr") > rct(usr[1], usr[3], usr[2], usr[4], col = "blue") > lines(x, col = "yellow")Ramon **** question **** On Sat, 02 Sep 2000, Ramon Diaz-Uriarte wrote:> Dear all, > > I am trying to prepare some figures where I'd like the color of the plot region > (i.e., the area bounded by the axes) to be different from the margin area > (i.e., the area of the figure not within the axes region).
