R Documentation

Provides colorpalettes containing R built-in colors

Description

Provides pre-designed colorpalettes (character vectors containing R built-in colors) of this and several other R packages (grDevices, RColorBrewer, colorRamps) as well as custom-made ones.

Usage

colorpalette(colpal, nrcol = NULL, simulate = FALSE, daltonize = FALSE,
  cvd = "p", alpha = NULL, rev = FALSE)

Arguments

`colpal`	a character vector containing R built-in color names or a name of a `LSD` colorpalette as a character string (see disco() or `disco`).
`nrcol`	a non-negative integer specifying the number of colors to be used (defaults to length of `colpal`, if not specified).
`simulate`	logical: if `TRUE` (`FALSE` by default), a converted colorpalette is returned to simulate dichromat vision according to http://www.daltonize.org (see `daltonize`).
`daltonize`	logical: if `TRUE` (`FALSE` by default), a converted colorpalette is returned to enhance dichromat vision according to http://www.daltonize.org (see `daltonize`).
`cvd`	character string implying the type of color vision deficiency ("p" for protanope, "d" for deuteranope or "t" for tritanope).
`alpha`	alpha value: a two-digit integer between 01 and 99 for color opacity, i.e. appearance of partial or full transparency (usage omitted by default).
`rev`	logical: if `TRUE` (`FALSE` by default), a reversed colorpalette is returned.

Value

colorpalette returns a vector containing R built-in colors in hexadecimal representation.
