Here are examples of a histogram and a boxplot using rasterImage to make the background:
bg <- matrix( c('#ddddff','#7777ff','#ddddff'), ncol=1 ) tmp <- hist(iris$Sepal.Width) xylim <- par('usr') rasterImage(bg, xylim[1], xylim[3], xylim[2], xylim[4]) plot(tmp, add=TRUE, lwd=3) plot( Petal.Length ~ Species, data=iris ) xylim <- par('usr') rasterImage(bg, xylim[1], xylim[3], xylim[2], xylim[4]) plot( Petal.Length ~ Species, data=iris, add=TRUE ) On Fri, Jun 29, 2012 at 3:07 PM, jcrosbie <ja...@crosb.ie> wrote: > I have a number of different figures I wish to create with a gradient > background.
