[R] Recurrence plots in R using different colours

[Jim Lemon]

Hi Lisa,
I'm not sure exactly what sort of plot you want, but this may help:

rcol<-matrix(c(1,0,3,1,0,4,0,0,1,0,5,6),ncol=4,byrow=TRUE)
# replace zeros with NAs as there is no numeric color for zero
rcol[rcol==0]<-NA
library(plotrix)
color2D.matplot(rcol,cellcolors=rcol,yat=1:3)
