You can use the polygon() function (?polygon). Here's a simple reproducible example:
x <- 1:25 y1 <- sqrt(x) y2 <- x/6 plot(x, y1, typ="l", ylim=c(0, 5)) lines(x, y2) polygon(c(x, rev(x)) , c(y1, rev(y2)), col="green") lines(x, y2+.5) If there are lines hidden by the shading, plot them after the polygon or add an alpha value to the fill color you are using, e.g. greena <- rgb(0, 255/255, 0, .5) polygon(c(x, rev(x)) , c(y1, rev(y2)), col=greena) ---------------------------------------- David L Carlson Department of Anthropology Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77843-4352 -----Original Message----- From: R-sig-Geo <r-sig-geo-boun...@r-project.org> On Behalf Of rain1290--- via R-sig-Geo Sent: Friday, April 5, 2019 10:22 AM To: r-sig-geo@r-project.org Subject: [R-sig-Geo] Creating a color shade between upper and lower bounds of a line plot in R Hello there, I have many line plots on a single graph and would like to somehow create a shaded area between them so that it looks neater and easier to interpret. Something like this: http://jvoigts.scripts.mit.edu/blog/assets/plot_shaded_pretty.png I heard that the function "geom_ribbon" was ideal to do this, but is it possible to incorporate this in the basic "plot" command? If so, how? This is currently what I have done with the basic plotting, which works fine: plot(get, Hope2, type = "l",col = "green", lwd = "3", xlab="Cumulative CO2 emissions (TtC)", ylab = "One-day maximum precipitation (mm/day)", main = "One-day maximum precipitation for Random Area for CanESM2 scenarios")lines(IPSL, Hope6, type = "l", lwd = "3", col = "green") lines(MIROC, Hope7, type = "l", lwd = "3", col = "green") lines(subsetprime, Hope8, type = "l", lwd = "3", col = "green") lines(MPI, Hope9, type =" l", lwd = "3", col = "green") So, in this plot, I have 5 green line plots in one. The idea would be shade these in green, from the lower to upper bounds. Is this possible? Any assistance would be extremely valuable!
