tablePalettes: Show / get all palettes of the tabplot package

Description

All color palettes are shown and/or returned that can be used for tableplots.

Usage

tablePalettes(plot = TRUE)

Arguments

plot
Boolean that determines whether the palettes are plot.

Value

  • list with palettes (silent output)

Details

Sequential palettes (for numeric variables):
  • Blues
  • Greens
  • Greys
These palettes are taken from ColorBrewer (Brewer et al., 2003). Qualitative palattes (for categorical variables):
  • Set1
  • Set2
  • Set3
  • Set4
  • Set5
  • Set6
  • Set7
  • Paired
  • HCL1
  • HCL2
  • HCL3
The default palette, "Set1", is a colorblind-friendly palette (see Okabe and Ito, 2002). Palettes "Set2" to "Set6" and "Paired" are based on ColorBrewer palettes (Brewer et al., 2003). Palette "Set7", is a colorblind-friedly palette from the dichromat package (see Thomas Lumley , 2012). The HCL Palettes are based on the Hue-Chroma-Luminance color space model (see Zeileis et al., 2009). The color red has been removed from the orignal palettes, since it is occupied by missing values.
