Hi guys,

I have a matrix with values varying from approximately -0.7 to 0.33 that I
want to create a heatmap/levelplot with.

When I execute the levelplot function for my matrix, I end up getting colors that are adjusted to the max and min rather than around 0. In other words,
ideally I would like to have a color ramp that goes from red (negative
number), to white (0), to blue (positive); however, right now the value 0 is
in the blue.

Any insight on how to address this problem?


?levelplot  # which leads to"
?level.colors  # which in turn leads to:
? colorRamp

levelplot(as.matrix(dat), at=seq( -.8, .4, length=31), col=color.palette(30) )


And next time, please post the output of dput rather than a mangled print() output.

Thanks in advance!

example...
my matrix "y" looks something like this
                A                 B                      C
D                    E
 row1         -0.5046406 -0.021579587    -0.4419101 -0.2999195330
-0.4845047
 row2         -0.3070091 -0.059065936     0.3329806 -0.0519335420
-0.5766368
 row3         -0.7271707  0.073282855    -0.3181990 -0.2485017700
-0.5732781
 row4          0.3329806 -0.017762750    -0.1513197 -0.1016354970
0.2528442

levelplot(y) yields a color scale from red (-0.8 to 0.2) to blue (0.2 to
0.4)
I'd want the color scale to be from red (-0.8 to 0) to blue (0 to 0.4)
