Making flames in R may come in handy. Maybe you're bored or perhaps you want to make a beautiful histogram? Who knows? Nonetheless, it's a short piece of code and it makes beautiful images:

It's actually quite simple to make. You may start out with a normal distribution. But to add complex color spectrums, you'll want to create curves that are stacked on top of this. And in order to get the shape, we'll need to use beta distributions. Here's the full code:

#set up variables x = seq(0.15,0.85,by=0.01) shape1 = 10 shape2 = 10 mult = 5 height = 700 colors = c("red", "orange", "yellow", "green", "blue", "violet", "lightblue", "lightgreen", "darkgreen", "black") #plot par(bg="black") plot(x,mult*dbeta(x,shape1,shape2),type="l",ylim=c(0,700)) for(i in 1:200) { lines(x,i*dbeta(x,shape1,shape2), col=colorRampPalette(colors)(200)[i], lwd=10) }

Hope it works for everyone! Let me know how it goes.
