Hi John,
How about this:
library(XML)
party.info <-
readHTMLTable("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Political_parties_and_politicians_in_Canada/list_of_parties";)
fed.party.info <- party.info[[3]]
fed.party.colors <- fed.party.info[, 2]
names(fed.party.colors) <- gsub("^.*\\|", "", fed.party.info[, 4])
tmp <- data.frame(x=1:15,
y=1:15,
z=factor(rep(c("Canada Party", "NDP", "Socialist"), each=5)))
ggplot(tmp, aes(x=x, y=y)) +
geom_point(aes(color=z)) +
scale_color_manual(values = fed.party.colors)
Best,
Ista
