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

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

Hi there everyone! So I'm a student in college, taking a very basic Statistics course. We're using R for most of our assignments. I've hit a pretty big wall here. I'm attempting to create a heat map of the entire united states which corresponds to a set of percentages I have for each state. My teacher suggested that I simply create a color palette with RColorBrewer that is in the

Hi all, I am trying to download the Rcolorbrewer package from Cran http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RColorBrewer//index.html It seems the files have been removed. Does anyone know where can I download the package? Thanks. Hannah [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I have seen a couple of posts about color schemes like those at the ColorBrewer site. Most recently: http://geography.uoregon.edu/datagraphics/color_scales.htm These color schemes can work very well for regions (bars, polygons, images, etc.) but are not very suitable for points and/or lines. Is anyone aware of research/suggestions for a color scheme to use for scatter plots? I've looked at

Hi everyone, Can anyone kindly help me with the interpretation of colors in the RColorBrewer Package (brewer.pal) ? For example, in brewer.pal command, when picking up the "RdBu" palette, does red means larger or smaller value? I am new to this fantastic program, and I have searched up and down, no clue :( I will really appreciate your time if you can kindly give me a hand.

Dear Erich and John, thankyou for providing RColorBrewer! Are you working on options for CMYK or RGB return values? Thanks again, Darren [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

RColorBrewer 0.1-1 is available on CRAN. The packages provides palettes for drawing nice maps shaded according to a variable as an R function. The palettes have been designed by and are copyrighted by the ColorBrewer project. An interactive palette selection tool byt the original designers is available at http://colorbrewer.org -- -- Erich Neuwirth, Computer Supported Didactics Working Group

Hello everyone, I am currently using the mvpart package and would like to change the color scheme it uses, and was hoping someone could help me out. All of the papers I have found have used a grayscale but I can't seem to figure out how they did that! Currently, mvpart plots barplots in a repeating sequence of 3 shades of blue. So if you have 6 response variables the same shade of blue is used

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

Hello R-folks, I don't get the color of the legend in a lattice-plot right. I select a palette from RColorBrewer and use it in the barchart plot. The resulting graph shows the new palette in the graph, but in the legend rectangles the standard palette is used. Adding a col argument into auto.key uses the new palette with the legend text, but not in the rectangle fill. What am I missing?

A recent article in the earth science literature cited below and available at http://geography.uoregon.edu/datagraphics/EOS/ points out that rainbow color schemes and mixtures of green and yellow can be troublesome for people with color-deficient vision. The authors propose alternative schemes that can be viewed and downloaded in RGB, HSV, CMYK, and RGB256 formats from

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

Buenos días, estoy haciendo unos mapas con ggplot, con 29 categorías, por lo que tengo que utilizar library(RColorBrewer) para disponer de suficientes colores. El problema es que al hacerlo acorde a dos variables distintas (color=var1 y color=var2), cuyas 29 categorías son obviamente las mismas, les da distintos colores y no puedo comparar los mapas. Muchas gracias, Manuel

Dear listers, After activating the name space for my bioconductor package (prada) I successfully ran R CMD check. However when loading the package in R and running the examples the imported function brewer.pal from package RColorBrewer is not found. I can directly call brewer.pal from the RColorBrewer name space typing RColorBrewer::brewer.pal, but it is not imported into my prada name space. When

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

Hello there! I'd just like to say in advance, "Thank you," for any help and/or advice. My problem is as follows: I have a dataset that is made up of percentages. I've assigned my "error" percentages a value of '-100', my "non-existent" percentages a value of '0', and all my other percentages are normal values that range from the high
