Dear Jeff, Some time ago, Don McQueen posted to r-help a nice function for displaying the named colours. You'll find it at <http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/31607.html>. As well, if you're using R for Windows, the various named colours are defined in the file rgb.txt in R's etc directory.
I hope this helps, John -------------------------------- John Fox Department of Sociology McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario Canada L8S 4M4 905-525-9140x23604 http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox -------------------------------- > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff D.
