[R] plot background - excel gradient style background ?

[Greg Snow]

Here are examples of a histogram and a boxplot using rasterImage to
make the background:

bg <- matrix( c('#ddddff','#7777ff','#ddddff'), 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 )
