Hi All,
I'm having trouble with the colors on my screen getting translated to
the colors in the outputted .pdf document.
Here is a caricature of my problem:
par(mfrow=c(1,1))
x1 = rnorm(1000)
x2 = rnorm(1000)+10
y1 = rnorm(1000)+10
y2 = rnorm(1000)+10
palette(rainbow(6))
plot(x=x1,y=y1,col=y1,xlim=c(-10,20))
palette(heat.colors(6))
points(x=x2,y=y2,col=y2)
dev.copy2pdf(file = "broke.pdf", height = 8, width = 8)
I plot the two normal blobs in two different color palettes, and it
looks fine on the screen. I go to look at the PDF, and they are BOTH in
heat map.
How would I render both palettes on the pdf?
Many thanks,
Andrew
