These questions are really basic, they are covered in the manuals and 
any good book about R. Please read at least
a) the manual "An Introduction to R"
b) the manual "R Data Import/Export"
c) the posting guide (see below, has been appended at the end of your 
message)

After you have read through and tried to solve your problem again, you 
might want to come up with a specific question again.

This question is also unspecific. Which kind of confidence interval? 
What does "density of data" mean here? Do you mean a global quantity for 
the whole series or really the empirical (estimated) density so that 
color changes from point to point?
