R: Square color scheme

square {colortools} | R Documentation

## Square color scheme

### Description

The square color scheme is similar to the tetradic scheme, but with all four colors spaced around the color circle.

### Usage

      square(color, plot = TRUE, bg = "white", labcol = NULL,
        cex = 0.8, title = TRUE)

### Arguments

`color` | an R color name or a color in hexadecimal notation
`plot` | logical value indicating whether to plot a color wheel with the generated scheme
`bg` | background color of the plot. Used only when `plot=TRUE`
`labcol` | color for the labels (i.e. names of the colors). Used only when `plot=TRUE`
`cex` | numeric value indicating the character expansion of the labels
`title` | logical value indicating whether to display a title in the plot. Used only when `plot=TRUE`

### Details

The square colors are obtained following a color wheel with 12 colors, each one spaced at 30 degrees from each other. Square color schemes tend to work best if you let one color be dominant

### Value

A character vector with the given color and the square scheme colors in hexadecimal notation
