Hi everybody,
I am wondering how i can add a "stretch" color bar / legend to a graph
that uses colorBrewer to define the colors in it. I will try to explain my
graph, but i also uploaded it at:
ftp://ftpext.usgs.gov/pub/er/fl/st.petersburg/Monica_pal/
The file is: robcor_training_pca.pdf - i will also attach this file in case some
people accept attachments.
So i took apart the cor.plot function from mvoutlier and i used instead of the
scatter plot function the smooth scatter density plot from geneplotter,
generating my own function called cordens.plot. Now i would like to add a
colorbar on the right side of the graph with red as my highest density and
purple as the lowest density and right next to the colors labels "min"
for purple and "max" for red (i don't want actual numbers,
although i suppose i can deal with that as well if need be).
I've tried image.plot function but i cannot set correctly the colors in the
bar since i am not using an "orthodox" rainbow set. Originally my
colors in the graph are set with colorRampPalette(c("darkviolet",
"deepskyblue4", "green", "yellow",
"red")).
Thanks in advance for all the help,
Monica
