While it's true that polygon() is the function you need, perhaps it would be helpful to see an example of how to use polygon().
Go here: http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/thumbs.php Put the mouse over the thumbnail plots to see larger pictures and look for something useful. You will find it here: http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/RGraphGallery.php?graph=88 The code for this graph is downloadable too. Just click on the icon on the left of the screen. Best wishes!
