[R-sig-eco] correlation plot in color

[Bede-Fazekas Ákos]

Dear Manuel,

since neither a reproducible example or your dataset are provided, nor 
the details of your problem (results of sessionInfo(); the package of 
corrMatOrder(); the error message you got) are known by us, it is a bit 
hard to help you. Anyway, I guess, that your data is not in categorical 
(factor) but in ordinal (ordered) scale. If you convert your ordoered 
data to numeric with as.numeric(), then Spearman and Kendall rank 
correlations can be used.

HTH,

> Dear Drew,
> Thank you very much for your help. The thing is that when I import the dataset containing categorical and numeric variables and then I want to calculate the correlation graphic, Rstudio says that it is not posible as categorical variables can not be used for correlation. So, which is the code for calculating correlation plots including a categorical variable, which will be them used for adding colours depending of the levels of this categorical factor?
