Background of a Plot

Paints the background of the plot, using either the figure region, the plot region or both. It can sometimes be cumbersome to elaborate the coordinates and base R does not provide a simple function for that.

Bg(col = "grey", region = c("plot", "figure"), border = NA)

Arguments

col: the color of the background, if two colors are provided, the first is used for the plot region and the second for the figure region.
region: either "plot" or "figure"
border: color for rectangle border(s). Default is NA for no borders.
