Dear Georg,
Try this example:
# Demonstrate scatterplot w/ different color bands
# M.H.P. - March 2008
graphics.off()
# Generate dummy data & make a blank plot:
a <- runif(100)
b <- 2 * runif(100)
plot(a, b, type = "n", main = "Demonstration")
# Set the values of the x-axis references:
vrefs <- c(0.2, 0.4, 0.6)
# Get coordinates of plot
pdims <- par()$usr
# Concatenate them to the vector of x_axis references:
vrefs2 <- c(pdims[1], vrefs, pdims[2])
# Generate some weak colors:
cols <- rainbow(n = length(vrefs2), s = 0.15)
# Add the colors to the plot:
for (i in 2:length(vrefs2)){
polygon(c(vrefs2[(i-1):i], vrefs2[i:(i-1)]),
c(rep(pdims[3],2), rep(pdims[4],2)), col = cols[i],
border = NA)
}
# Draw the reference lines, points, and box:
abline(v = vrefs)
points(a, b, lwd = 1.5)
box()
