I am trying to customize a vertical bar chart, where the x axis is the
areas
being measured and the y axis is the units of measurement. I have been
trying to shade a particular range within the overall plot area, not the
entire area. Specifically, the y axis range goes from 40 all the way to
160.
I just want to shade or fill in a specific range (85 to 115) within that
overall range. Is there a way to have that range (85-115) shaded only and
the other ranges (116 and higher, and 84 and lower) left untouched? Any
help
would be appreciated. Thanks!
