Hi.
I want to use image() with colours that are indexed by two variables.
Indexing by one variable is easy:
library(colorspace)
x <- seq(from=0, to=1,len=30)
z <- outer(x,1i*x,"+")
image(Re(z),col=hcl(seq(from=0,to=100,len=15),c=100))
OK, so far so good. Now, I want the colour to be a more complicated
function
of z, in which both the hue and luminance change (thus the colours
cannot
be ordered):
f <- function(z){hcl(h=100*Re(z),l=100*Im(z))}
I want to draw z in terms of the colour defined by f():
image(z,col=f)
image(f(z))
but these don't work as intended. How do I use image() to get what I
want?
I can get close using plot():
x <- runif(1000)
y <- (1:1000)/10
g <- function(x){hcl(h=80*x,l=(1:1000)/10,c=300)}
plot(x,y,col=g(x),pch=16)
[note that one cannot draw nontrivial "contour lines" joining points
of identical colours on this
plot: top left to lower right goes from pink to black; top right to low
left goes from yellow to reddy orange]
It'd be nice to make image() do what I want. Anyone?
