Hi everyone, I am trying to plot a recurrence matrix (package: nonlinearTseries). This is my command, which gives the plot as found in the attached image (example 1): Team1 <- read.delim("Team1.txt", header =TRUE) Team1_plot <- rqa(time.series = Team1$Kat5, embedding.dim = 1, time.lag = 1, radius = 0.1,lmin =2, vmin =2, distanceToBorder = 2, save.RM = TRUE, do.plot = FALSE ) RP <- Team1_plot$recurrence.matrix image (RP) My first problem 1. I cannot change the labeling of the axis limits While this command helps rotate the datapoints WITHIN the plot as desired (example 2): image(t(RP[,ncol(RP):1])) # rotate matrix by 90? and plot the labeling of the axes is still wrong (the y-axis still starts with 223). Adding parameters such as ylim or ymax has not helped. 2. I am trying to convert it into a colour-coded image. I have categories ranging from numbers 1 to 5 (as well as random unique larger numbers referring to nonrecurrent values). With some help, I have managed to assign my numeric values in my data to colours using this function: RP2 <- as.matrix(RP)*1 TS <- Team1$Kat5 for (i in seq(1,dim(RP2)[1])) { for (j in seq(1,dim(RP2)[1])) { if (RP2[i,j] == 1 & TS[i] < 6) { # test if recurrence is present in RP AND corresponding value in the time-series is < 6, in which case that Recurrent is coded according to the value in the time series RP2[i,j] <- TS[i] } else if (RP2[i,j] == 1 & TS[i] < 6) { # if the above is not the case, test if recurrence is present in RP AND corresponding value in the time-series is > 5, in which case that recurrence is deleted from the RP RP2[i,j] <- 0 } } } image.scale(RP2, zlim=c(1,5),col= c("yellow", "red", "blue", "green", "orange") My problem is that the image I receive from doing this (see attachment) is scaled from 0 to 1 and I seem to be incapable of understanding why this is and how to change it. Once again, I have tried using y and x lim as well as max functions, but have not managed to attain any results. I realize these are amateur questions but I have been struggling with this for quite some time and would really appreciate any help I can get. Thanks and best regards, Lisa
