Hi Thierry and all,
Thanks very much for your suggestion. I've given it a go and played around with
the transparency values, but seem to be having a problem in that some of the
red values are made transparent, even though there are no green values being
overplotted!
The code I used to display the image was:
ggplot(Jan, aes(x = Jan[,4], y = Jan[,5], colour = factor(Jan$Urban.Rural>
1.25))) +
geom_point() + scale_colour_manual(values = c(alpha("red",1/10),
"green"))
Do you have any ideas to put me on the right tracks with this?
Thanks again for your help,
Steve
