I found the link below very helpful in explaining the use of polygon.

Subject: [R] Shading area under density curves
> Hello,
>
> I have a question regarding shading regions under curves to display
> 95% confidence intervals. I generated bootstrap results for the slope
> and intercept of a simple linear regression model using the following
> code (borrowed from JJ Faraway 2005):
>
>> attach(allposs.nine.d)
>> x<-model.matrix(~log(d.dist,10))[,-1]
>> bcoef<-matrix(0,1000,2)
>> for(i in 1:1000){
> +
> newy<-predict(all.d.nine.lm)+residuals(all.d.nine.lm)[sample(1002,rep=TRUE)]
> + brg<-lm(newy~x)
> + bcoef[i,]<-brg$coef
> + }
>
> Where "allposs.nine.d" is a data file composed of two columns: (1)
> geographical distances between sample points ("d.dist") and (2) their
> respective pairwise percent similarity in species composition
> ("d.sim"). The expression "all.d.nine.lm" equals lm(d.sim~d.dist).
>
> I saved the bootstrap results for each coefficient as:
>
>> dist.density.b1<-density(bcoef[,2])
>> dist.density.b0<-density(bcoef[,1])
>
> Along with their 95% confidence intervals:
>
>> dist.quant.b1<-quantile(bcoef[,2],c(.025,.975))
>> dist.quant.b0<-quantile(bcoef[,1],c(.025,.975))
>
> I then could plot smooth density curves along with their 95% CI's:
>
>> plot(dist.density.b1)
>> abline(v=dist.quant.b1)
>
> Now finally for my question: Instead of drawing vertical lines to
> represent the 95% CI's, I'd much prefer to somehow shade in the region
> under the curve corresponding the to 95% CI. I tried using the
> polygon() function for this but did not get very far as I couldn't
> figure out how to define limits for x and y coordinates.
