Looking at these, and in retrospect, if I were writing a manuscript of the pre-digital age, I would definitely add a burning mark as a finishing touch to complete the work. Perhaps waving the parchment above a burning candle.
With modern digital support, you can fake a similar result using e.g. grid.raster or rasterImage, as others have said before. library(grid) g <- rasterGrob(blues9, width=unit(1,"npc"), height = unit(1,"npc"), interpolate = TRUE) # grid.draw(g) library(ggplot2) ggplot(mtcars, aes(factor(cyl))) + # add gradient background annotation_custom(g, xmin=-Inf, xmax=Inf, ymin=-Inf, ymax=Inf) + geom_bar() # add data layer baptiste On 30 June 2012 09:07, jcrosbie <ja...@crosb.ie> wrote: > I have a number of different figures I wish to create with a gradient > background.
