Hi Everyone: I'm going a little nuts here and am hoping someone might have some ideas to help out. Here is my problem:
I am using the calendarHeatMap function (http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2009/11/charting-time-series-as-calendar-heat-maps-in-r.html) to plot some values of percentages above or below a watermark. In other words, I have a time series whose data can range arbitrarily from -0.34 to +1.9, for example. However, for the visualization to be effective, I need to be able to distinguish conclusively where the division between positive and negative takes place. My original thought was to just modify the colorRampPalette function inputs to achieve the effect. Unfortunately, because of the smooth blending, it washes out the middle. Not to mention the middle of the colour range is not always zero. What I would to do is concatenate two colour ranges such that: bright red (max negative) -> dark red (min negative) dark green (min positive) -> chartreuse (max positive) I know, chartreuse. Not to mention the fact that the these ranges will change with each dataset I apply. Now, believe me, I have tried searches for colorramp range, positive, and so on, but can't seem to find a smoking gun that will work with the function above. I came across the ggplot package as well, which looks promising (book ordered and en route), but I believe this function uses a different graphic methodology. Any help in the right direction is greatly appreciated. Cheers, t.
