Dear Jim, This almost exactly what I need. However, because I am not trying to plot price change as the color parameter, I need the scale to be positive only (0 to 1) and would like to be able to control the color scheme of the scale. I looked at the help file for map.market() and it's code but it seems to be inflexible in terms of changing the scale and the colors. I was wondering if map.market is an application of a more general plotting function? From my reading of the code it looks like that's not the case.
Anyhow I am very grateful.
