Well, if it is transparent then you will not see it: I presume you mean translucent (aka semi-transparent). With 50% opacity you could use

red <- rgb(0x9E, 0x47, 0x70, 127, max=255)
polygon(xvalue1,yvalue1,col=red,border=red)

See ?rgb.

You can also specify a translucent colour as e.g. "#9E47707F", but that seems less intuitive.

Hi list,
Does any one know how I can make the red colour transparant?

par()
#Set up blank plot to remove plot border type lty="n"

xvalue2<- c(1,3,3,1)
yvalue1<- c(0,0,22,22)
yvalue2<- c(0,0,44,44)
