R-Help Is there a way to make a rectangle transparent (alpha=0.1??) plot(c(100, 200), c(300, 450), type= "n", xlab = "", ylab = "") rect(110, 300, 175, 350, density = 5, border = "red") Can't figure out how to take the changepoint function results and plot in ggplot2 so I can just simply add rectangles to the plot function, but I need to make transparent and there doesn't seem to be an alpha option.

For example, rect(110, 300, 175, 350, density = 5, border = rgb("red") rect(110, 300, 175, 350, density = 5, border = rgb(red=1, green=0, blue=0, alpha=0.1)) I'm not sure what is the quickest way to work out the rgb values for a named colour (col2rgb can do it, but not in a convenient format) if you want to add alpha to it.

Duncan Thanks I was able to find it in the help doc. x <- c(1,2,4,6,8,9,10,12,13,14,18,20) y <- c(4,5,3,6,7,4,8,9,12,4,7,5) mydata <- data.frame(x,y) plot(mydata) rect(5,0,8,8, col=rgb(0,1,0,alpha=0.2), border=F) -----Original Message----- From: Duncan Murdoch <murdoch.duncan at gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2018 7:57 PM To: reichmanj at sbcglobal.net; R-help at r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] Plot Rect Transparency On 28/06/2018 5:29 PM, Jeff Reichman wrote:> R-Help > > > > Is there a way to make a rectangle transparent (alpha=0.1??) > > > > plot(c(100, 200), c(300, 450), type= "n", xlab = "", ylab = "") > > rect(110, 300, 175, 350, density = 5, border = "red") > > > > Can't figure out how to take the changepoint function results and plot > in > ggplot2 so I can just simply add rectangles to the plot function, but > I need to make transparent and there doesn't seem to be an alpha option.Alpha is part of the colour spec.

IIUC, it is adjustcolor() you were thinking of. It had been created to do that and more. I'm using that "all the time" nowadays in my graphics code, e.g.,> adjustcolor("red", 2/3)[1] "#FF0000AA"
