[R] color scale to label a plot

[Charles Annis, P.E.]

Anne:

Perhaps this example will help.  

I have data (several dozen observations at each condition) for different
R=stress.ratio.  The stress.ratios are:

> stress.ratio
 [1] 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 0.9 0.9 0.9 0.9 0.9

You will notice multiple datasets for R=0.1 and R=0.9.

I assigned colors to each stress.ratio, such that

 R.color
 [1] "black"      "black"      "black"      "red"        "orange"     "gray"
"green"      "light blue" "blue"       "dark blue" 
[11] "dark blue"  "dark blue"  "dark blue"  "dark blue"  "dark blue" 


Then I plotted the legend on my plot this way:

legend(x.coordinate, y.coordinate, unique(stress.ratio),
col=unique(R.color), pch=15, cex=0.8)

Best wishes.
