Generate the Cube Helix colour palette, designed to appropriately display of intensity images, as the brightness increases monotonically when displayed in greyscale.
cubehelix(n, r = 1.5, hue = 1, gamma = 1, rev = FALSE)Returns an n-vector of RGB colour strings.
integer number of colours in the scale
real number specifying the number of rotations of the helix over the scale
non-negative number specifying the colour intensity from grey (0) to normal (1) and over-saturated (>1)
positive number specifying the relative importance of low vs high values
logical flag indicating whether the ordering of the colors should be reversed
