colors - Control middle value colours with scale_colour_continuous using R/ggplot2 -

-

i have set of data , map colour aesthetic around sort of "reference value" so:

  • values below red
  • values near blue
  • values above green

i still want show fact values on continuoum, using function cut() , using scale_colour_discrete not i'm looking for. here's example data:

set.seed(123) x <- runif(100, min = 1, max = 10) y <- runif(100, min = 1, max = 10) test <- data.frame(x = x, y = y) test$colour <- runif(100, min = 1, max = 10) ggplot(test, aes(x = x, y = y, colour = colour)) + geom_point(size = 3)

that produces following:

enter image description here

i'm familiar scale_colour_gradient(low = "red", high = "green"), hoping more deliberately transition colours along desired value mapping make regions "pop" bit more visually. spacing not linear. in other words, reference value of 3, mapping this:

value:  1     3      10 colour: red   blue   green

is possible? i'd take alternative solutions accomplish visualization highlight "desirable" values among sea of points. example, considered replacing values near reference such (ref - tol < colour < ref + tol) <- na, , using scale_colour_gradient's option na.value.

or should considering cut() option, small cut size , figure out how gradually change colours along resultant breaks?

from http://docs.ggplot2.org/0.9.2.1/scale_gradient2.html:

scale_color_gradient2(low = "red", midpoint = 3, mid = "blue", high = "green")

update:

concerning op's comment - playing around midpoints , space="lab" helps:

# using lab colour space improves perceptual properties # @ price of slower operation d + scale_colour_gradient2(space="lab")

back graveyard - given newest comment realized 1 should put 2 lines of code together:

scale_color_gradient2(low = "red", midpoint = 3, mid = "blue", high = "green", space="lab")

python - Subclassed QStyledItemDelegate ignores Stylesheet -

-
i'm trying subclass qstyleditemdelegate remove focus rectangle in qcombobox . even though i'm calling base implementation of paint function , nothing else, result different. looks if parts of style-sheet influence bounding box of item taken consideration. class pstyleditemdelegate(qstyleditemdelegate): def __init__(self, *args, **kwds): super(pstyleditemdelegate, self).__init__(*args, **kwds) def paint(self, *args, **kwargs): qstyleditemdelegate.paint(*args, **kwargs) what have paint unmodified qstyleditemdelegate ? as suggested tried replacing pyside pyqt4 , works, appears bug. update pyside 1.1.2 1.2.1 result same. unfortunately switch breaks other parts of code, if there no other suggestions i'm going accept answer. edit bug tracked here

node.js - StackOverflow API not returning JSON -

i using node.js script gather data stackoverflow. know responses gzipped, put code in should take care of that. script follows: var request = require('request'); var zlib = require('zlib'); function getstackoverflowresponse(url, callback){ request(url, {encoding: null}, function(err, response, body){ if(response.headers['content-encoding'] == 'gzip'){ zlib.gunzip(body, function(err, dezipped) { callback(dezipped); }); } else { callback(body); } }); } var url = "https://api.stackexchange.com/docs/questions#pagesize=2&order=desc&min=2014-01-04&max=2014-02-02&sort=activity&tagged=apigee&filter=default&site=stackoverflow&run=true"; getstackoverflowresponse(url, function(questions) { console.log(questions); }); instead of getting json output, i'm getting following response: buffer 0d 0a 0d 0a 0d 0a 0d 0a 3c 21 44 4f 43 54 59 50 45 20 48...
