You did not specify if this is for just the 'x' values, the 'y' values, or both. If the latter, more than two colors might make sense. For just the 'x' values and two colors, the easiest might be something like: plot(x, y, col = ifelse(x >= 0.5, "red", "blue")) Change 'x' to 'y' for the same on 'y'. Alternatively, you could do something like the following for coloring based upon both 'x' and 'y': cols <- character(length(x)) xgt <- x >= 0.5 ygt <- y >= 0.5 cols[which(xgt & ygt)] <- "black" cols[which(!xgt & ygt)] <- "red" cols[which(xgt & !ygt)] <- "blue" cols[which(!xgt & !ygt)] <- "green" plot(x, y, col = cols, pch = 16) HTH, Marc Schwartz ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
