Hello all,
I am trying to use R to create a colored data matrix. I have my data
which (after certain steps of normalization and log transformation)
gives me a "x by y" matrix of numbers between 0 and -5. I want to be
able to create from this matrix of numbers a "x by y" image (box) that
contains x*y squares and somehow uses the value in the original matrix
to come up with a color that corresponds to the number. Hence each box
will be colored on a scale between 0 and 5. For example my data could
look like this:
X1.FcH X2.FcH X3.FcH X4.FcH X5.FcH
X6.FcH X7.FcH
1-AP 0.09667593 -4.66298640 -1.28299697 -4.8739017 -4.95862831

How do I make a 7 x 7 box that has 49 squares and each square has a
color in the RGB spectrum that corresponds to the value. So for
example in the matrix above the biggest number which is 0.00966 (at
position 1 , 1) could be set to RED and the smallest number which is
5.0084 (at position 6, 5) can be set to BLUE and all the other numbers
be shades on a scale of Red going to Blue.
I hope this problem makes sense. I am rather new to R and was
wondering if there was a function or solution to this problem out
there.
Thanks
Kartik
