| hsv {grDevices} | R Documentation |
Create a vector of colors from vectors specifying hue, saturation and value.
hsv(h = 1, s = 1, v = 1, alpha)
h,s,v |
numeric vectors of values in the range |
alpha |
numeric vector of values in the range |
Semi-transparent colors (0 < alpha < 1) are supported only on
some devices: see rgb.
This function creates a vector of colors corresponding to the
given values in HSV space. The values returned by hsv can be
used with a col= specification in graphics functions or in
par.
hcl for a perceptually based version of hsv(),
rgb and rgb2hsv for RGB to HSV conversion;

## Red tones:

xlab = "", ylab = "", pch = 21, cex = 30,
bg = rainbow(n, start=.85, end=.1),
