[R] How to plot shades between curves?

[Jim Lemon]

Hi Jackson,
>From your description, I think you are trying to illustrate the deviation
of Capa.diss, so I will offer an entirely different method. If you do want
the primary line on the left of the plot with a big space on the right,
presumably to add more stuff there, try this:

plot(Capa.diss.mean + 10 * (Capa.diss-Capa.diss.mean),Capa.diss.age,
 type="l",col="gray",xlim=c(-1,30),xlab="Capa.diss")
lines(Capa.diss,Capa.diss.age)

This exaggerates the deviation of Capa.diss from its mean by a factor of 10
in the first gray line, then plots the "real" deviations over it as a black
line. Another possibility is that you want to decompose Capa.diss into low
and high frequency deviations (i.e. long term trend and transient
variation). That would involve a similar plotting technique.
