R help - Aug 2006 - How to change the color of Plot area.

Dear all R users,

Is there any effective way to change the body color of any plot? I am aware
of the function par(bg="black"), but the problem with this is, it
change the
color of entire graphics window. But I want to see that only plot area will
have color for example RED and rest of the area should have BLACK color.

And I also I want to know is there any way to change the border-color (which
is by default BLACK) of the plot area.

Hope anyone can help me to solve this.

Thanks and regards,
Arun

Try:

x <- 1:10 # test data
plot(x ~ x, type = "n")
u <- par("usr")
rect(u[1], u[3], u[2], u[4], col = "grey", border = "red")
points(x ~ x)
