[R] Shading the plot

Mon Dec 5 23:11:59 CET 2011

As David said, your "minimal working example" is neither minimal nor
working...consider this (admittedly quite clunky) example though:

time <- seq(10, 20, length.out = 100)

S1 <- 10*exp( cumsum(rnorm(100))/20)
S2 <- 10*exp( cumsum(rnorm(100))/20)

plot(time, S1, ylim = range(c(S1,S2)), type = "n")
lines(time, S1); lines(time, S2, col = 2)

r <- c(1, which(diff(sign(S1-S2)) != 0L), length(time))

for(i in seq_along(r)){
    if(i == length(r)){next}

    ind1 <- r[i]
    ind2 <- r[i+1]

    Xbnds <- time[ind1:ind2]
    Xbnds <- c(Xbnds, rev(Xbnds))

    Ybnds <- c(S1[ind1:ind2],S2[ind2:ind1])

    col = if(median((S1>S2)[ind1:ind2])) "blue" else "green"

    polygon(Xbnds, Ybnds, col = col, border = NA)

}

Best I can figure, this fills green if the red line is on top and blue
otherwise. You may have to run it a few times to see that behavior.
