I have a short question regarding ggplot2. Is it possible to get testures and patterns when using geom_area()?
I've seen the ggpattern extension, but it does not seem to work on geom_area(), though I might be wrong.

Hi there, has you considered parameterising your area plot as a polygon and then using the polygon tool from ggpattern? It would typically require just adding 2 vertices to your data at [xmin,0] and [xmax,0]. – teunbrand Nov 06 '20 at 12:41

Thanks teunbrand. Yeah I thought about this but did not go for it yet. My geom_area is a portion of a probability distribution curve, that is it goes from xmin to xmax but on y it follows the distribution curve. I do not know if this is feasible under polygon + ggpatern()? Thanks again. – David R Nov 06 '20 at 22:31
