[R] Shaded areas in R

[Tom Wright]

Hi Óscar,

Not really sure what you mean by the time variable being a "character"
vector. Unless you are plotting a barchart or boxplot (or similar), I
don't this this makes sense. If you can post a sample of your data,
preferably using the dput() command we can probably help more.
