Hi, Not really sure what you are after, but the following plots a series of points of varying colour
plot(x,y,type='n') apply(cbind(x,y,z),1,function(a) {points(a[1],a[2],col=a[3],pch=".")}) but its going to be really slow for a large number of points Martyn -----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of W Eryk Wolski Sent: 06 August 2010 15:25 To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] image plot but data not on grid. Hi, Would like to make an image however the values in z are not on an uniform grid. Have a dataset with length(x) == length(y) == length(z) x[1],y[1] gives the position of z[1] and would like to encode value of z by a color. looking for something like plot(x,y, col = z) where col for z is cleverly chosen from a colorscale. Hope I made clear what I am looking for.
