 Hello everyone,
 
 I'm trying to plot 3600 points and my idea is if this value is higher than 
 0.35 then this point must appear in green colour, if it's smaller than -0.35 
 then values must appear in red and if values are between -0.35 and 0.35 they 
 must be in yellow. I'm thinking and I'm trying many things but I don't 
 achieve it. Any idea?.
 
 Thanks so much

Hi Carlos

I think you need use a nested ifelse, something similar this

x-runif(6000,-1,1)
color-ifelse(x.35,green,ifelse(x -.35,red,yellow))
table(col)
plot(1:6000,x,col=color)

Hi Carlos,
This may be what you want:

zeep-rnorm(20)
zeepcut-as.numeric(cut(zeep,c(-4,-0.35,0.35,4)))
plot(zeepcut,col=c(red,yellow,green)[zeepcut])

Hi Carlos,

I'd strongly urge to reconsider your colour choices - 7-10% of males
are red-green colour blind and it will be difficult for them to tell
the difference between the high and low values.

At the risk of promoting my own code :-),  if you want to plot lines 
with this sort of value-dependent color instead of points (or in 
addition),  the function clplot() in the Plotrix package will do it for you.
