I am busy right now, but perhaps this quick help works ;)

* Plot your data with R using the polygone like here (code on this
page as well): http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:VaR_graph.png
* save it as a SVG
* add by hand a gradient (
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_(Grafik) ) eg with Inkscape. I
think that you cannot do this directly with the SVG package.

If you need further help, let me know, perhaps I find some time on the weekend.

BTW: Did you study TM in Vienna?
