Dear Ilai, I tried to also adjust the diagonal panels. However, the variable names are not positioned correctly anymore. Do you know a solution?
Cheers, Marius count <- 0 mypanel <- function(x, y, ...){ count <<- count+1 bg <- if(count %in% c(1,4,9,12)) "#FDFF65" else "transparent" ll <- par("usr") rect(ll[1], ll[3], ll[2], ll[4], col=bg) points(x, y, cex=0.5) } mydiag.panel <- function(x, ...){ ll <- par("usr") rect(ll[1], ll[3], ll[2], ll[4], col="#FDFF65") } U <- matrix(runif(4*500), ncol=4) pairs(U, panel=mypanel, diag.panel=mydiag.panel) Marius Hofert <marius.hof...@math.ethz.ch> writes: > Indeed, precisely what I was looking for.
