Hi everyone.

I have a vector like this:

x =
c(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2)

I would like to associate a colour to each of these entry. For example, I
could use /topo.colors(3)/ (since I have 3 groups).

I know it is easy to do this with  /if/else/ statements, but I would like to
find a proper way to do this.

Simply use 'x' for subsetting, i.e., with your example topo.colors(3)[x].

See also the packages 'colorspace' or 'RColorBrewer' (amongst others) for different color palettes.

hth,
Z

Thanks in advance,
Phil
