The following code was adapted from an example Vincent Zoonekynd gave on his web site http://zoonek2.free.fr/UNIX/48_R/03.html:
n <- 1000 x <- rnorm(n) qqnorm(x) qqline(x, col="red") op <- par(fig=c(.02,.5,.5,.98), new=TRUE) hist(x, probability=T, col="light blue", xlab="", ylab="", main="", axes=F) lines(density(x), col="red", lwd=2) box() par(op) How can I make the background in the small box in the upper left-hand corner be a different color than the background in the main plot and erase any of the main plot that happens to be behind the box?
