Duncan Thanks I was able to find it in the help doc.
x <- c(1,2,4,6,8,9,10,12,13,14,18,20) y <- c(4,5,3,6,7,4,8,9,12,4,7,5) mydata <- data.frame(x,y) plot(mydata) rect(5,0,8,8, col=rgb(0,1,0,alpha=0.2), border=F) -----Original Message----- From: Duncan Murdoch <murdoch.dun...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2018 7:57 PM To: reichm...@sbcglobal.net; R-help@r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] Plot Rect Transparency On 28/06/2018 5:29 PM, Jeff Reichman wrote: > R-Help > > > > Is there a way to make a rectangle transparent (alpha=0.1??) > > > > plot(c(100, 200), c(300, 450), type= "n", xlab = "", ylab = "") > > rect(110, 300, 175, 350, density = 5, border = "red") > > > > Can't figure out how to take the changepoint function results and plot > in > ggplot2 so I can just simply add rectangles to the plot function, but > I need to make transparent and there doesn't seem to be an alpha option. Alpha is part of the colour spec. For example, rect(110, 300, 175, 350, density = 5, border = rgb("red") rect(110, 300, 175, 350, density = 5, border = rgb(red=1, green=0, blue=0, alpha=0.1)) I'm not sure what is the quickest way to work out the rgb values for a named colour (col2rgb can do it, but not in a convenient format) if you want to add alpha to it.
