You did not say what variable you want to be in the ranges to determine the colors, but try any of these to see if they do what you want:
> x <- runif(100) > y <- runif(100) > z <- runif(100) > plot(x,y, pch=16, col=ifelse( x < 0.5, 'blue','red')) > plot(x,y, pch=16, col=ifelse( y < 0.5, 'blue','red')) > plot(x,y, pch=16, col=ifelse( z < 0.5, 'blue','red')) > > library(TeachingDemos) > y[1] <- 0.5 > plot(x,y, pch=16, col='red,) > clipplot( points(x,y,pch=16,col='blue'), ylim=c(0,0.5) ) The last one is probably overkill, but can give a nice effect with larger cex values. If none of those work for you, restate the question with better detail. Hope this helps, -- Gregory (Greg) L.
