A quick question: Is there anywhere a listing of the RGB components of the named colours listed by colors()? For example, where would I find the RGB for "orange1" or "salmon"? When I look at an EPS file from R where I have used these colours, it seems that for: "salmon": 0.9804 0.5020 0.4471 rgb "orange1": 1 0.6471 0 rgb However, this is a tedious way

I want to get a lighter shade of a color...I have a lot of colored objects and want each one printed as a foreground against a slightly lighter background. I thought I could try something like changing the alpha channel by first converting it to rgb. But prior to trying that, I'm stuck with how to get the color after converting using col2rgb() to be interpreted again as a color, rather than

Hi all, I'm trying to convert a series of rgb codes into a color name. What is my easiest option? So far I'm stuck with just converting to hex using rgb() and I know R knows a number of colours() but a mapping of the two has failed me. Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated. Regards, George

Hello List Dwellers: I?ve looked around quite a bit, but don?t quite see an answer that I understand. I?m looking for a way to take any kind of color specification (rgb, hsv, hcl, hex) and match it to the n-nearest R official color names. Clearly it is easy to interconvert different specification schemes and color spaces, but matching to the name seems a bit trickier. Seems like if one has a

Hi, I'm trying to draw a 2D plot using multiple tints of red. The (simplified) setup is the following: || year | x | y || My idea is that each year is plotted with a different tint of red. Older year (lightest) -> Later year (darkest). I've managed to plot this with different scales of grays simply by doing: palette(gray(length(years):0/length(years))) before the plot and for each

Hello I have a palette vector of colour blind colours (in hexadecimal) which I?m using for plots, but they are not see-through, and as I wanted to overlay some histograms I wanted to convert these colours to rgb, when you can set the opacity. I have found the function col2rgb(), which works in the sense that it gives a vector of numbers but these don?t work directly in rgb because they are too

Based on reading 'rgb' documentation, I would have thought the following would have produced identical results. Can someone explain how to make this happen? I need to be able to specify an array of rgb values for the 'col' parameter. colnames.col <- c("black", "red", "blue", "green") colnames.rgb <- apply(as.matrix(colnames.col), 1,

Dear all: Does anybody know about label conflicts between xtable and Hmisc? I found a couple of e-mails similar to this problem but is not clear to me how to get around the label problem. The first table(longtable below) is generated with the latex function from Hmisc but for some reason when I try to hyperlink to it,it takes me to the top of the document. The second table created with the xtable

The release notes for R 2.0.0 states: It is now possible to specify colours with a full alpha transparency channel via the new 'alpha' argument to the rgb() and hsv() functions, or as a string of the form "#RRGGBBAA". NOTE: most devices draw nothing if a colour is not opaque, but PDF and Quartz devices will render semitransparent colours. A new argument

Does adjustcolor() help? cb8<- c("#000000", "#E69F00", "#56B4E9", "#009E73","#F0E442", "#0072B2", "#D55E00", "#CC79A7") plot(0,0,xlim=c(1,8),ylim=c(0,1)) points(1:8,rep(0.5,8),col=cb8,pch=19,cex=2) points(1:8,rep(0.75,8),col=adjustcolor(cb8, alpha.f = 0.3), pch=19,cex=2) On 2023-07-23 2:15 p.m., Nick Wray

Just one addition which may or may not be useful: The color palette you use is also known as "Okabe-Ito" and it is the default set of colors in the palette.colors() function. This function also has an optional alpha argument. So if you want to generate these colors with an alpha of 0.3 you can also do: palette.colors(8, alpha = 0.3) or more explicitly palette.colors(8, palette =

Hello Core Folk. Quite by accident I discovered today that col2rgb, when fed factors, acts on the integer representation of those factors: td <- as.factor(rainbow(5)) # not how I discovered the issue! td res <- col2rgb(td) res # but col2rgb("#FF0000FF") # this is td[1] but does not produce the same answer res[,1] # moreover as.integer(td) col2rgb(5) # the integer value of the

Nick, I've also made colors transparent by pasting the hex equivalent of, say, 0.3*256 = 76.9 to the hex color code. e.q. for black it might be "#0000004d" and the 4d is 77 in hex. That way you don't need to convert back and forth so much. If col is "#000000" the transparent version is tcol <- paste0(col,"4d") This would work in one step on a whole

I'm looking for a scheme to generate a default color palette for plotting points, lines and text (on a white or transparent background) with from 2 to say 9 colors with the following constraints: - "red" is reserved for another purpose - colors should be highly distinct - avoid light colors (like "yellow"s) In RColorBrewer, most of the schemes are designed for area fill

Win2k, R1.7.1: I am currently working with some growth curve data from a biotoxicology experiment. Each of 12 subjects had their blood drawn at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 weeks. For the purposes of the project, it would be helpful if I were able to do the following: a. Produce 12 panels, each displaying the *same* data, with the "strip" at the top of a particular panel showing

Dear List, I have a 47 species * 83 samples matrix containing percentage abundance data. I have two cluster analyses one of the samples and one of the species, and have ordered the rows and columns of the species by samples matrix according to these two cluster analyses. So far so good! Now what I want to do is create a plot with the species dendrogram at the top of the plot, the samples

Hi Martin, Great that you follow this. My original intention was to be able to translate colornames to hsv because this would allow using colornames to cut out a certain part of the colorwheel for colorcoding (HSV component H, see my code below) I think internally we might have colors represented as Colornames, ColorIntegers, ColorHexcodes, ColorRGBs, ColorHSVs (ColorCMYs?) however the R-user

hi all, i have a simple scatter plot, and i'd like to make it so the scatter plot colors are slightly transparent. i see in a previous post that someone mentioned the "alpha" parameter, but i am not sure how it can be used with the 'plot' function [*]. for example, suppose i have: plot(mydata$column1, mydata$column2, col="red", cex=1) i now want to make it so

Hi all, I had the need to create a colorbar considering the alpha channel of the colors, but colorRamp() and colorRampPalette() ignored the alpha argument in rgb(). So I performed some minor modifs. in their codes, as to support the interpolation using the alpha channel. I guess that those simple modifications might be useful for other people, so perhaps it would be worth to add them to
