similar to: Natural colours for topographic data

Dear useRs, I got stuck trying to generate a palette of topographic colors that would satisfy these two requirements: - the pallete must be 'anchored' at 0 (just like on a map), with light blue/lawn green corresponding to data values close to 0 (dark blue to light blue for negative values, green-yellow-brown for positive values) - the brown must get darker for higher positive

I will second Roger's suggestion, colorRampPalette is a great function for creating your own palettes. For example, Matlab's jet palette (also available in fields package under peculiar name 'tim.colors') can be defined by: jet.colors = colorRampPalette(c("#00007F", "blue", "#007FFF", "cyan", "#7FFF7F", "yellow",

Hi All- I would like to create a 3d topographic map using lat/lon and z(height). I have been scouring the R help pages and have not located the package I am looking for. Does anyone have a suggestion of package that will work for this? thanks- sherri

I am trying to create a topographic map of an island - the filled.contour function works fine except i am experiencing difficulty trying to represent the sea properly. Basically I want the default colour blue for any instance where z=0, if I simply use the default topo.color I get shades of blue for z values up to 220 metres. Is there a way in which I can specify terrain.color for all values of

I've been thinking hard about generating colour schemes for data. There's quite a bit of existing code scattered in various packages for playing with colours and colour palettes, but I can't find the sort of thing I'm after for applying colours to data... To my mind a colour scheme is a mapping from data values to colours. There's a multitude of such mappings depending on the

Hi there, I have two data sets, one of locations at different elevations (x,y,z) and the other of points that make up topographic contours (also x,y,z). I have used: result<-apply(distppll(data2,cbind(topocon[-nrow(topocon),],topocon[-1,])),1,min) where 'data2' are my measurement coordinates (x, y) and 'topocon' are my topographic contours (x,y). While this gives me an output

Hi, I would have expected that I get always 3 colors as result which is not true: hcl.colors(3, alpha=c(0, 0.5, 1)) # 3 colors rainbow(3, alpha=c(0, 0.5, 1)) # 3 colors heat.colors(3, alpha=c(0, 0.5, 1)) # 3 colors terrain.colors(3, alpha=c(0, 0.5, 1)) # 6 colors cm.colors(3, alpha=c(0, 0.5, 1)) # 6 colors topo.colors(3, alpha=c(0, 0.5, 1)) # 9 colors R-Version and

I need grayscale formatting for a wireframe. The only col.regions that I can find are color palettes are all colored: rainbow(n, s = 1, v = 1, start = 0, end = max(1,n - 1)/n, gamma = 1, alpha = 1) heat.colors(n, alpha = 1) terrain.colors(n, alpha = 1) topo.colors(n, alpha = 1) cm.colors(n, alpha = 1) The code follows: X11() library(lattice) par(family="serif", cex=1.2)

Hello, I've got a big problem. I'm using R for geostatistical analyses, especially the field-package. I try to generate plots after the kriging process with help of image.plot(..., col=terrain.colors, ...). Everything works fine, but I want to reverse the color-palettes (heat.colors, topo.colors or gray()) to get darkest colors at highest data-values instead the other way round. Could

Hi! I am new to R just 3 days in it and i apologize if my questions seem very trivial and consumed your valuable time. I am coding in perl and i stumbled upon R regarding plotting good statistical graphs. I tried the kmean clustering for a large matrix ,say > 150 * 150 . I tried the example code given in the tutorial to perform 2d plot # i ranges from 2 to 10 cl <- kmeans(x, i, 20)

Hello R users! I began with R and I must say that it is really nice. I have data with a lot of variables and have a problem to extract the pattern from correlation matrix. So I tried with plotcorr and it went fine. While I was reading the help page of this function, I found that ellipse display can be even better with use of different colors (the code is bellow). However I have a problem to

Hello, The other day Justin Peter presented a mini program to plot a topographic map with an overlay of the worldHires. I seemed interesting so I checked the ETOPO5 site and find that there is a new file ETOPO1 with a 1 minute grid. I downloaded it and tried a similar procedure. Now the ETOPO1.gz is 1 Gb and the uncompressed file is 5 Gb. They do not fit into my laptop. I tried the following

Hi Sherri, There are examples of topographic maps which you have been pointed to, however, I suspect that you want to know where you can obtain topographic data from rather than a canned example. There are quite a few intricacies to the process so I will go through them for you. (1) Topography files can be found in the geomapdata library. You will probably want to use the maps package too (if

Hi everyone. I have a vector like this: x = c(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2) I would like to associate a colour to each of these entry. For example, I could use /topo.colors(3)/ (since I have 3 groups). I know it is easy to do this with /if/else/ statements, but I would like to find a proper way to do this. Thanks in advance, Phil -- View

Anyone who is interested in using optimal colour palettes should look at the work of Cindy Brewer: www.colorbrewer.org I have written code to use her colour schemes in R. It is included below. Perhaps someone may find this interesting enough to work into a package. Included also is a function showpalette, which was posted here a while back. I don't remember who wrote it. I have copied all

Hi everyone, I'm having problems with plotting my data. I have a set of positions with different attributes and I'm wondering if I can plot it, as x,y plot, with gradient colours according to a 3rd factor. Is it possible to show gradient segments between postions and not one-coloured segment between each one? I've been trying plotrix color.scale.lines with no luck. I'm very

Dear All, I was looking for the color index in?image function,?such as from topo.colors(n) and etc. but still never found it. For instance, from the help menu. ########################################### # Volcano data visualized as matrix. Need to transpose and flip # matrix horizontally. image(t(volcano)[ncol(volcano):1,]) # A prettier display of the volcano x <- 10*(1:nrow(volcano)) y

Dear all, This seems like a simple problem but i've searched the help files and tried various options but failed, so apologies in advance for asking what i'm sure is an easy thing to do! In short, I have displayed behavioural data using the TraMineR package such that there is a colour change between the transition of behaviours, however, all the methods that i have used thus far have

Hi! I've got a map in R imported from a GIS (GRASS) as a vector of factors. So I've got 20 different levels in the map and I've created a vector of custom colors of exactly 20 colors in lenght. I'm trying to use image() (really plot.grassmeta() that call image()) to plot the map with those colors but it doesnt work and the colors are changed. I would like that all points
