I am looking for a solution to change the axes label colors in radarchart
library(fmsb)
# Create data: note in High school for several students
set.seed(99)
data=as.data.frame(matrix( sample( 0:20 , 15 , replace=F) , ncol=5))
colnames(data)=c("math" , "english" , "biology" , "music" , "R-coding" )
rownames(data)=paste("mister" , letters[1:3] , sep="-")
# To use the fmsb package, I have to add 2 lines to the dataframe: the max and min of each topic to show on the plot!
data=rbind(rep(20,5) , rep(0,5) , data)
#==================
# Plot 1: Default radar chart proposed by the library:
radarchart(data)
I would like to have a different color for each math , english , biology , music , R-coding. I have tried with col.lab but it doesn't work.

I looked into the function radarchart and found that the color is not based on one of the inputs. I adjusted the function to make it work. You can use this:
radarchart2(data, vlabcol = "red")
after running this function:
radarchart2 <- function (df, axistype = 0, seg = 4, pty = 16, pcol = 1:8, plty = 1:6,
plwd = 1, pdensity = NULL, pangle = 45, pfcol = NA, cglty = 3,
cglwd = 1, cglcol = "navy", axislabcol = "blue", vlabcol = "black", title = "",
maxmin = TRUE, na.itp = TRUE, centerzero = FALSE, vlabels = NULL,
vlcex = NULL, caxislabels = NULL, calcex = NULL, paxislabels = NULL,
palcex = NULL, ...)
{
if (!is.data.frame(df)) {
cat("The data must be given as dataframe.\n")
return()
}
if ((n <- length(df)) < 3) {
cat("The number of variables must be 3 or more.\n")
return()
}
if (maxmin == FALSE) {
dfmax <- apply(df, 2, max)
dfmin <- apply(df, 2, min)
df <- rbind(dfmax, dfmin, df)
}
plot(c(-1.2, 1.2), c(-1.2, 1.2), type = "n", frame.plot = FALSE,
axes = FALSE, xlab = "", ylab = "", main = title, asp = 1,
...)

It is the same except for VLABELS part where text() is used to plot the vlabels and added the vlabcol to the input.
