I suspect the OP may want

rep(1:length(unique(x)), rle(x[order(x)])$lengths)[order(order(x))]

to allow for variable numbers of unique values.

Hello,

I'm not sure I understand. You want to attribute a color number 1:7 to each element of your vector? Maybe the following will do.


x <- scan(text = "
43 43 43 43  0 39 13 39 50 39 39 23 23 32  0 13 32 23 32 23  0 13 13  0
")

cols <- rep(1:7, rle(x[order(x)])$lengths)[order(order(x))]
plot(x, col = cols)


Hope this helps,

Hello R experts,
   I want to  define desired numbers to a vector based on the present
numbers. Can anybody please help me?
Obviously I found worst ways to do it, but I believe there must be any
better way.

I have vector as
X
[1] 43 43 43 43 0 39 13 39 50 39 39 23 23 32 0 13 32 23 32 23 0 13 13 0
Now I want to colour a plot with unic cols based on this vector. I want to
baseplot.
But now the problem in normal col pallet these nos has repetition. Thus I
tried to
  library(RColorBrewer)
coll<-colorRampPalette(brewer.pal(9, "Set1"))(50)
and then use this vector as col.

But there also the colours are not enough bright.

So I am trying to set new a vector reading this present vector.
Obviously I can type out manually as
coll=c(rep(1,4),0,2 ....

But rather I am trying for some automation with which function or similar
But still now I am struggling with this.
Can anybody please help me.

Basic thing is some way to reads the vector and define a new col vector
from 1:7

Thanks a lot,
Mitra
