Hi

Here's one way to approach it ...

ggplot(data.frame(x=1:10, y=1:10)) +
  geom_polygon(aes(x=xx, y=yy), fill="grey70",
               data=data.frame(xx=c(0, 0, 4, 4), yy=c(0, 11, 11, 0))) +
  geom_point(aes(x=x, y=y))

... (supply a separate data source for the background region polygon).

I am new to ggplot2 and can't see any obvious way to create distinct
coloured regions for the background, nor can I find any relevant examples.



Any guidance appreciated.

PS: The context is practically the same as the one from the image (Gene x
Environment interaction study). I used the following tool to find the
regions of significance, if this is of interest to anyone:
