Iuri: Your code as emailed reads:
###### data(npk, package="MASS") fit <- by(npk, npk$block, function(bydata) fitted.values(lm(yield ~ N, data=bydata))) fit <- unlist(fit) interaction.plot(npk$N, npk$block, fit, xlab="N", ylab="yield") # fake factor, numeric fac <- c(rep(1,12),rep(2,12)) # plots everything in black interaction.plot(npk$N, npk$block, fit, xlab="N", ylab="yield",col=fac) cbind(npk$block,fac) # plots everything black as well fac <- as.factor(fac) interaction.plot(npk$N, npk$block, fit, xlab="N", ylab="yield",col=as.numeric(fac)) ##### Close inspection shows that the definition of fac is buried in a comment on the fifth line of the code, so it was not running. Having disentangled that, did you inspect fac? fac is a length 24 vector with the first 12 values equal to 1 - corresponding to black. You are plotting only six lines .... all of which plot correctly as black when I run the code because the first 6 values in the colour vector you supply are all black. If you want to plot 6 different colour lines, try, for example, col=1:6. Hope that helps you clear things up!
