[R] colors for background and plotting area

[Ramon Diaz-Uriarte]

Thank you very much to P. Dalgaard, E. Paradis and B. Bolker for their answers.
Basically, the 6th example in demo(graphics) shows how to do it: specify bg,
then use par to find boundaries of axes, color that rectangle with rect,
and add the points/lines.

> x <- rnorm(10)
> par(bg= "red")
> plot(x, type= "n")
> usr <- par("usr")
> rct(usr[1], usr[3], usr[2], usr[4], col = "blue")
> lines(x, col = "yellow")
