[R] colors for background and plotting area

[ben@zoo.ufl.edu]

  Use "par" to find out where the boundaries/axes are, and "rect" to draw
the picture ... the 6th plot in demo(graphics) does the same thing.

  For example:

## code for coloring background

x <- runif(10)
y <- runif(10)

plot(x,y,type="n")
u <- par("usr")
rect(u[1],u[3],u[2],u[4],col="magenta")
points(x,y)
