[R] polygon angle option perpendicular to axis

[Simon, Heather]

Thanks for the question.  Here is a sample of the code for my plot:

	Top = c(34, 39, 42, 45, 46, 41, 41, 40, 43, 38, 33, 33)
	 Bottom = c(24, 29, 32, 36, 32, 34, 32,41, 40, 39, 29, 24)

	plot(1,1, col = "white", xlim = c(1.3,11.7), ylim = c(0,80), axis = FALSE, xaxt = "n") 
	axis(1, at = c(1:12))

	polygon(c(c(1:12),c(12:1)), c(top, bottom), col = adjustcolor("#33a02c",alpha.f = 0.7) ,border = "#33a02c", lty = 4, density = 80, angle = 180)


I would like the hatched lines to all go in the same direction (parallel to the x-axis) so that I can layer another polygon on top with perpendicular hatches and you will be able to differentiate between the two.

Tena koe Simon

plot(1:10, 1:10, type='n')
polygon(c(2,3,6,8), c(2,5,5,3), density=20, angle=90) polygon(c(2,3,6,8), 5+c(2,5,5,3), density=20, angle=0)

I don't understand your problem.  Perhaps if you "provide[d] commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code" it would help.

I am trying to use the angle option in polygon to create polygons filled with horizontal and vertical lines.  The polygons I am crating are irregular and it the angle function appears to set the angle of the shading perpendicular to the polygon sides rather than perpendicular to the axes.  Is there any way to set the angle relative to the axes rather than relative to the polygon sides?
