R2.7.1, WinXP
Hi,
I have a polygon inside a circle as follows:
radius <- 3
x <- seq(-radius,radius,length=2000)
y <- sqrt(radius^2-x^2)
xx <- c(x,-x)
yy <- c(y,-y)
plot(xx,yy, xlim=c(-radius,radius),ylim=c(-radius,radius), type="l",
ylab="", xlab="", axes=F)
radius <- 2.7
x1 <- seq(-radius,radius,length=2000)
y1 <- sqrt(radius^2-x1^2)
radius <- 2.0
x2 <- seq(radius,-radius,length=2000)
y2 <- sqrt(radius^2-x2^2)
polygon(c(x1,x2),c(y1,y2))
(the graph much resembles a speed dial inside a car).
Now I want to fill the polygon with color, such that it starts on the
left with red and ends on the right with green, following the coloring
of the rainbow.
Preferably, the coloring should be "continuous", such that colors
naturally fade into each other.
I can draw the polygon as above, but I don't know how to do the
coloring. It is easy to give the polygon only one color (e.g. through
polygon(c(x1,x2),c(y1,y2), col="red")), but I need a way in which to
color the polygon such that the color moves through the color spectrum
from red (left) to green (right).
Can anyone help me to achieve this?
Thanks, Roger
