Thanks for the question.  Here is a sample of the code for my plot:

        Top = c(34, 39, 42, 45, 46, 41, 41, 40, 43, 38, 33, 33)
         Bottom = c(24, 29, 32, 36, 32, 34, 32,41, 40, 39, 29, 24)

        plot(1,1, col = "white", xlim = c(1.3,11.7), ylim = c(0,80), axis = 
FALSE, xaxt = "n") 
        axis(1, at = c(1:12))

        polygon(c(c(1:12),c(12:1)), c(top, bottom), col = 
adjustcolor("#33a02c",alpha.f = 0.7) ,border = "#33a02c", lty = 4, density = 
80, angle = 180)


I would like the hatched lines to all go in the same direction (parallel to the 
x-axis) so that I can layer another polygon on top with perpendicular hatches 
and you will be able to differentiate between the two.

Tena koe Simon

plot(1:10, 1:10, type='n')
polygon(c(2,3,6,8), c(2,5,5,3), density=20, angle=90) polygon(c(2,3,6,8), 
5+c(2,5,5,3), density=20, angle=0)

I don't understand your problem.  Perhaps if you "provide[d] commented, 
minimal, self-contained, reproducible code" it would help.

Subject: [R] polygon angle option perpendicular to axis

I am trying to use the angle option in polygon to create polygons filled with 
horizontal and vertical lines.  The polygons I am crating are irregular and it 
the angle function appears to set the angle of the shading perpendicular to the 
polygon sides rather than perpendicular to the axes.  Is there any way to set 
the angle relative to the axes rather than relative to the polygon sides?
