R help - Aug 2005 - color palette

Hi, I have a matrix with both positive and negative
numbers, I would like to use image() to draw a
heatmap. How can I can design a palette (or is there a
function already available) that treat negative
numbers in a blue gradient and positive numbers in a
red gradient and treat 0 as white?

Thanks

'Tim.colors' in 'fields' package goes from blue to red, and
passes through
the colors cyan, yellow, and orange. Also known as Jet color-map in Matlab.
You can also easily design your own color map using 'rgb' function from
'gdDevices'.
