Dear list,

I am using R 2.6 on a Windows XP machine.

I divided my device window and tried to set the backgroundcolor for each plot 
region/figure region separately. This seems not possible?? A simple example:

# create random numbers
a <- rnorm(100)
# divide device window
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
# set the backgroundcolour to "red"
# this always affect the total device
par(bg="red")
#two plots should be plotted
plot(a)
hist(a)


I have tried to call "bg" within the high-level-graphic function 
(plot(bg="red")). Whereas there was no error-message, this has no effect on the 
background of this singe plot.

I found a meaningfull answer I have found here:
http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/21384.html
but I was wondering, whether there is a more easy and explicit way to do it 
directly for a given plot in a multiplot environment.
Are there possibilities to do it specifically for the complete figure region or 
solely for the complete plot region?

Thank you for your help
Daniel
