[R] about plotting a special case

[Jim Lemon]

If you want colors mapped to the _values_ in DF1$C, there are a number
of ways to do it:

Color_unq<-color.scale(DF1$C,c(1,0),c(0,0,c(0,1))

This will produce colors from the lowest values (red) through the
highest (blue). See the help page for color.scale to get different
colors. With this you can use color.legend to add a mapping of the
values and colors.

If you just want different colors, say 20, you can do things like:

Color_unq<-rainbow(20)
Color_unq<-colors(distinct=TRUE)[1:20]
