R help - Apr 2012 - change color scheme in mvpart

Hello everyone, I am currently using the mvpart package and would like to change
the color scheme it uses, and was hoping someone could help me out. All of the
papers I have found have used a grayscale but I can't seem to figure out how
they did that! Currently, mvpart plots barplots in a repeating sequence of 3
shades of blue. So if you have 6 response variables the same shade of blue is
used to represent two different response variables. I would like to use
grayscale and a different shade of gray for each response variable (I have 7).
However, the color is more important so if I can only use 3 shades of gray thats
fine. Thank you!!

Sorry.


Again,


I am currently using the mvpart package and would like to change the color
scheme it uses, and was hoping someone could help me out. All of the papers I
have found have used a grayscale but I can't seem to figure out how they did
that! Currently, mvpart plots barplots in a repeating sequence of 3 shades of
blue. So if you have 6 response variables the same shade of blue is used to
represent two different response variables. I would like to use grayscale and a
different shade of gray for each response variable (I have 7). However, the
color is more important so if I can only use 3 shades of gray thats fine.

As for reproducible code:

using libraries ade4, vegan, gclus, cluster, RColorBrewer, labdsv, mvpart,
MVPARTwrap

spe.mvpart <- mvpart(data.matrix(spe) ~ ., env, cp=0, xv"1se",
xval=10, xvmult=100, uniform=TRUE)

I didn't include my data but if you need it, I will email you a subset.
