[R] plot a vertical column of colored rectangles

[baptiste auguie]

Hi,

You could try grid.colorstrip() from the gridExtra package,

grid.colorstrip(ifelse(dat, "blue", "red"))

or grid.raster(), which should be more efficient,

grid.raster(matrix(ifelse(dat, "blue", "red")), interp=FALSE,
width=unit(1,"npc"), height=unit(1,"npc"))

HTH,

baptiste
