All helpful suggestions: thanks loads Baptiste, Barry, Jim. image() and
color2D.matplot() seem most easily adaptable for my purposes. I've copied a
couple of examples below for anyone else facing the same q's.
Best,
Peter
#color matrix
cseq<-seq(0,150,1)
lseq<-seq(0,100,1)
clen<-length(cseq)
llen<-length(lseq)
colmat<-matrix(,nrow=clen,ncol=llen)
for(i in 1:clen){
for(j in 1:llen){
colmat[i,j]<-hcl(h=0,c=cseq[i],l=lseq[j],fixup=F)
}
}
colmat[is.na(colmat)]<-hcl(c=0,l=100,fixup=F)
#display
#color2D.matplot()
x<-matrix(1,dim(colmat)[1],dim(colmat)[2])
color2D.matplot(x,cellcolors=colmat,border=NA)
#image()
m = colmat
mc = matrix(1:(nrow(m)*ncol(m)),nrow(m),ncol(m))
image(mc,col=m)
