[R] colour coding and different point types in a plot

I'm trying to plot four different sorghum types on a plot using a different
colour/symbol combination for each sorghum type (TYPBOTA in the script
below).  What am I doing wrong?:

plot(xx$LATITUDE,xx$SFD1,
   points(xx$SFD1,xx$LATITUDE,
   col=1:4[codes(xx$TYPBOTA)],pch=c(4,3,1,2)[codes(xx$TYPBOTA)])
grid()

I get the following error message
Error in 1:4[codes(xx$TYPBOTA)] : NA/NaN argument
In addition: Warning message: 
Numerical expression has 162 elements: only the first used in:
1:4[codes(xx78$TYPBOTA)] 


Best wishes,
Mikkel

I think you need (1:4)[...] (and maybe also reconsider the use of
codes(). It has certain surprises, and indexing with a factor is the
same as using foo[as.integer(f)])

[R] colour coding and different point types in a plot

Thanks to all, the brackets worked.  The variable names are the costs of
collaboration :), certainly not my preference.
