ggplot2: Choosing colours
Hi Thierry, Have a look at http://had.co.nz/ggplot2/scale_identity. (The way you are currently doing it only works because you are not using any kind of grouping/facetting, and I'm thinking about adding an explicit message/warning for this case) Hadley

Dear useRs,
I'm trying to specify the colour of a factor with ggplot2. The example
below gets me close to what I want, but it's missing a legend.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Thierry
library(ggplot2)
dataset <- data.frame(x = rnorm(40), y = runif(40), z = gl(4, 10, labels
= LETTERS[1:4]))
ggplot(data = dataset, aes(x = x, y = y, group = z)) + geom_point(colour
= c("red", "green", "blue", "black"))
