specific colours are required within Hexbin package?

plot, r

Solution

Using the example on the package helpapge for `hexbin` you can get close using `rainbow` and playing with the `colcuts` argument like so...

x <- rnorm(10000)
y <- rnorm(10000)
(bin <- hexbin(x, y))

plot(hexbin(x, y + x*(x+1)/4),main = "Example" ,
     colorcut = seq(0,1,length.out=64),
     colramp = function(n) rev(rainbow(64)),
     legend = 0 )

You will need to play with the legend specification etc to get exactly what you want.

Alternative colour palette suggested by @Roland

## nicer colour palette
cols <- colorRampPalette(c("darkorchid4","darkblue","green","yellow", "red") )
plot(hexbin(x, y + x*(x+1)/4), main = "Example" ,
colorcut = seq(0,1,length.out=24),
colramp = function(n) cols(24) ,
legend = 0 )

Problem

I am plotting scatter plot for high density of dots.I used Hexbin package and I successfully plot the data.The colour is not pretty,and I am asked to follow a standard colour. I wonder if it is supported by R. Image shows my out put(right) and the wanted colour(left). Example: ``` x <- rnorm(1000) y <- rnorm(1000) bin<-hexbin(x,y, xbins=50) plot(bin, main="Hexagonal Binning") ```
