Hi,

 

I am plotting values of log(hazards ratio) as a function of two predictors,
using the plotting function filled.contour().  Here is a simple simulated
example of this:

 

x <- seq(0,1, length=20)

 

y <- seq(0,1, length=20)

 

z <- outer(x,y, function(x,y) x^2 + y^2 )

 

zmat <- matrix( rexp(n=400, rate = z+0.001), 20, 20)

 

filled.contour(x, y, log(zmat), xlab="X", ylab="Y", color=heat.colors,
main="log-Hazard ratios for different X & Y cutoffs")

 

Here lower hazard-ratios are reddish and higher values are lighter.  I would
like to reverse the color palette "heat.colors" such that higher hazard
ratios are reddish and lower values are lighter.  Can any one suggest an
easy way to do this?  

 

Also, suggestions on better ways to display this information would be
greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks very much.

 

Best,

Ravi.
