similar to: repeating colors in graph

I've tried looking at ?colors and ?palette and if I'm understanding it correctly, I'm supposed to type in (for example) palette(rainbow(13)) before I type in my plot (of 13 lines) if I want 13 different colors. But this does not work. Other things that i have tried besides rainbow give me errors. Am I just doing something completely wrong? Anna

Hi, I was trying to make a density plot with 13 samples. To distinguish each sample, it would be good if each color is as different as possible from the other colors. I could use the built in function, but that does not do more than 8 colors and then goes back to recycling the cols. If I use a palette, then it is really difficult to distinguish between the colors. So, is there a way that I can

Dear R users, I'd like to change the default order of colors & line types. Especially I am using ggplot2 and using color Set1. In Set1, the default color order is red, blue, green, violet,.. ect. However, I want to put red in fourth (not first). Likewise, I want to change the order of default linetype. I want to put "solid" line in fourth. How can I do thses? R code to draw the

I didn't explain myself well. You are right about not needing a list on the right hand side of the equation below. What I end up with is a list of arrays. Now what i would like to do is to access the individual elements in the arrays in the list. For example, when I type, y[[1]], I just get the whole first array. How do I get the first element in the first array for instance? Is

Please excuse me if this is a very basic question and I am just misunderstanding the basic structure of R. Right now, I am writing everything in a buffer (emacs) and then copying it into R when it is correct. Is there a way to save a file of commands and then just type the file name or something in R and have the commands executed within R? Anna

Hello, I am having difficulty obtaining the correct colors in my R charts. > colors()[c(552, 254, 26)] [1] "red" "green" "blue" But, if I specify col=552 in my barplot, I get gray bars. Likewise, col=254 gives bright pink, and col=26 is a red-orange. I get accurate results when I spell out the names, but I am making a pallet with 20- 30 colors and it is a

Is there a modulus operator in R? Anna

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

Everyone, I'm working with scatter plots with different colored symbols (via lattice). I'm currently using these colors for points and lines: col1 <- c(rgb(1, 0, 0), rgb(0, 0, 1), rgb(0, 1, 0), rgb(0.55482458, 0.40350876, 0.04166666), rgb(0, 0, 0)) plot(seq(along = col1), pch = 16, col = col1, cex = 1.5) I'm also using these with transparency (alpha

I know how to print my own labels along the x axis: plot(1:10,xlab = "My label", axes = FALSE) axis(1,at=seq(1,10,by=2),labels=c("first","second","third","fourth","fifth")) Is there a way to make the labels print vertically along the axis rather than horizontally? (I'm not sure if this is even going to look all right, but I

I am totally confused as to how to use anova. I have three vectors and would like to use anova on them but I don't understand how lm or glm comes into play. In matlab, you just give the three vectors. Why isn't it the same in R? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Anna

Hello everybody, I'm trying to create my own color palette on R, in order to interpolate some different temperature data on different maps (daily means, seasonal means,...). I would like to create a color palette which works for each map, so I need a color palette between -40 and +40?C. Sometimes my data for one map range from -10 to +20, sometimes from 10 to 30, etc... but always between

When I am trying to put a legend on a plot where I am using "lines", R just ignores it. I can do it with boxplot or plot, but just not with lines. Am I doing something wrong? Maybe I am just making a mistake? Anna

I've found RColorBrewer useful for its qualitative palettes, but wished that it could generate more than 12 qualitative palettes (e.g. with Set3). Any suggestions for alternative color palette generators that can handle e.g. 18 distinctive colors? (I'm aware of using rainbow(), but this doesn't generate enough distinct colors when the number of palettes is large). Thanks, Andrew

After trying to find if there was a color picker in the FAQs and the help, I thought I would send a post here. I was overwhelmed with all the wonderful color choices R has predefined (discovered after typing in colors()) but can't figure out what they all (by name) look like. Is there a color picker or some other method to display all those colors next to the name? I think I can put together

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

Hello I'm using rainbow function to generate 10 colors for the plot and it is difficult to tell the neighboring colors from each other. How can I make the colors more differently. Thanks Zhaoming [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I have two separate questions. The first is when I use xlab, the labels on my tic marks disappear. Is there a way to make them reappear? Also, is there a way to make my own labels for the tick marks? My second question is, after I have spent a lot of time getting my plot to look just right, I want to save it to a file, but the only way I seem to know how to do it is to first use

Here?s an easy one. Well, easy for those more clever than I am. I am plotting several groups and use symbols 15:25, pch <- 15:25 Sometimes, however, I need more than those and would like to have them recycled automatically so that pch[12] = pch[1]. Perhaps I can use %% or kludge up a multi-line, multi-if solution, but hope that a kind helper can suggest something more elegant. I am also

Hi, Very so often when i am plotting something, doing a histogram, or whatever i am struggling to find out which are the numbers for different colors, palette names, types of lines, symbols, etc. Is there any documentation on line with all these numbers / names and the associated symbol / color??? For example if i am using the command image it uses a palette from red to yellow, with red the
