[R] FW: color palette

[Tuszynski, Jaroslaw W.]

Try:

n   = 100;
x   = matrix(seq(-10, 30, length.out=500), ncol=1)
col = colorRampPalette( c("green", "white", "red"), space="rgb")(n) breaks =
c(seq(-10, 0, length.out=n/2)-0.5, 0, seq(0, 30, length.out=n/2)+0.5)
image(x, col=col, breaks=breaks)

See also today's discussion on R-Help about "red-black-green color palette",
since most of the code above came from Earl Glyn post.

Thanks for the suggestion. I still could not figure out how to use the
function to do my job. What's important in my job is that I have to map
white color to value 0, and then form a bue gradient for negative values,
and red gradient for positive values. The data matrix I have is not
symmetric aound 0, say 0 is at the 18 percentile, and values range from -10
to 30.
How exactly I could do my job? Bear with me, I am new to color, I don't
quite understand how the image function map the number is the data matrix to
the colors defined in the col argument.

Thanks
