Usage

colorConesa(n, reverse = FALSE, palette = "complete")

Value

A character vector of colors corresponding to the specified number and palette.

Arguments

n: An integer specifying the number of colors to be extracted from the chosen palette.

Details

ConesaLab's color palettes, available within the package, are tailored for scientific data visualization. The colorConesa function is built upon these palettes, offering flexibility in color selection based on the user's requirements. It integrates with the palette argument to choose the color thematic.

It's essential to note that if the requested number of colors (n) is less than or equal to the size of the chosen palette, the function will directly extract the colors without interpolation. However, if n surpasses the palette size, interpolation is employed to generate the required colors.

Examples

Run this code

library(ggplot2)
data("iris")
colorSpecies <- colorConesa(3, palette = "cold")
plot(x = iris$Sepal.Length, y = iris$Sepal.Width, col = colorSpecies[iris$Species], pch = 16)
