plot() function: color transparency
you will need to specify colours as RGB values and then set transparency via the "alpha" argument. e.g.: color=rgb(0,0,0,alpha=0.3) # will give black (0,0,0) and a transparency of 30%. Best wishes Christoph

I checked as you suggested. However, I found that the number in those functions are the number of colors. In contrast, my number here means a specific color, for example, 2 in my code means "red", 3 in my code means "green"....

I found all the color transparency was defined with character color, or rgb color. What if I have number code and still try to modify the transparency? For example:
x=c(1:5) color=c(2,2,3,4,5) plot(x, col=color) plot(x, col=color,pch=20)
here I defined color by numbers, how can I modify the transparency?
