Re: [R] plot background - excel gradient style background ?
Here are examples of a histogram and a boxplot using rasterImage to
make the background:
bg <- matrix( c('#ff','#ff','#ff'), 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 )

Hi jcrosbie,
Will this do?
library(plotrix)
plot(1:10,type="n")
xylim<-par("usr")
gradient.rect(xylim[1],xylim[3],xylim[2],xylim[4],
c(1,0,1),c(1,0,1),c(1,1,1),gradient="y")
points(1:10)
Jim

Re: [R] plot background - excel gradient style background ?
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 wrote: > I have a number of different figures I wish to create with a gradient > background.

Re: [R] plot background - excel gradient style background ?
Well that answers the question as answer. So while you are working within the system to get your company to change the policy you can use rasterImage to add a gradient background to the plot, then use points or lines or other functions to put the parts of interest back on top of the gradient (if it is not obvious how to do this then give us more detail of the types of plots you are doing, a reproducible example is best, and we can give more detail on how to do this).

Re: [R] plot background - excel gradient style background ?
The short answer is "yes". The question as answer is "what is wrong with your data that you feel the need to hide/distort information and distract from the story of the data?". The hopefully thought provoking answer is "fortune(197)". The answer to the question not asked that should have been is "No! don't do that!". If you have read all the above and are still determined to continue despite warnings, then ... The answer similar to handing a fully metal knife to someone poking around in a plugged in toaster is "?rasterImage".
