Hi Adrian,
Have you looked at color2d.matplot in the plotrix package?

Probably not. See below.

  color map with color gradation.
  
  my values range from -5 to 0. max value is 0.

  mydf1 - mydf[,2:100]
  colnames(mydf1) - as.character(mydf[,1])

It should be probably 

rownames(mydf1) - as.character(mydf[,1])

mydf-rnorm(100*100)
mydf-matrix(mydf, 100,100)
mydf-data.frame(mydf)
mydf1-mydf[,2:100]
colnames(mydf1)-as.character(mydf[,1])
Error in names(x) - value : 
  'names' attribute [100] must be the same length as the vector [99]
 


  
  here comes the trouble:
  
  mymat - as.matrix(mydf1)
  
  -- numerical values become character values.  -1 becomes -1

If you had all values in data frame really numeric it shall stay as 
numeric also in your matrix. Try

str(mydf1)

and you will probably find out that some variables are factors/character. 
Therefore as.matrix transfers **all** values to character as matrix can 
not mix data of various type.



  
  mymat - data.matrix(mydf1)
  
  -- whole matrix is filled with 1,2 and 3.
  
  Is there any other way I can do this.

  Hi Adrian,

You might also want to check out the seriation package, which provides
tools to reorder your matrix to better reveal any patterns in the
data.

Do an 'str' on your data so that we see what it contains.  It may
appear to be numbers, but they might also be factors as a result of
the read.table.
