[R] help with recalling data points in a specific region of the plot

I am assuming that you want to desplay all the data and highlight the subset. Set up a vector to indicate the breakdown of the data and you can do it fairly easily in ggplot2 if you treat the vector as a factor.

library(ggplot)
mydata <- data.frame(x=1:21, y= -10:10)
z <- ifelse(mydata[,1]>5 & mydata[,2] >5, 1, 0) # identify points >5
mydata <- data.frame(mydata, z)
ggplot(mydata, aes(x=x, y=y, colour= factor(z))) + geom_point()
