R: ggplot2, why does my legend show faded colors?

I think they are the same colour - it's the different surrounds that make them look different.

Thanks, I added a collage and a close-up, so you can see the detail. It looks like the grey is over the top of the colours in the legend. Do you suggest I try and lighten the grey in the legend then?

– John Apr 12 '10 at 2:28 @hadley, John: The colours are different (checked using the color picker in Paint. NET). However, when I call the code sample above, my legend colours are the same as on the plot.

Are you using an old version of ggplot2? Or calling some other code you haven't mentioned? – Richie Cotton Apr 12 '10 at 8:37 I checked the colours using output from my computer.

I think you must have an old version. – hadley Apr 12 '10 at 12:04 Many thanks, I was using > 0.8.3 instead of 0. 8.7. However, I had trouble updating.Update.packages() failed to update ggplot2 and when I downloaded the latest binary it said it installed, but packageDescription("ggplot2")"Version" still returned 0.

8.3.I had to uninstall the package first and then repeat. Problem now fixed however.Tks. – John Apr 12 '10 at 17:30 Consider joran's answer-question - is this MAC OS X specified problem?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
