scale_pattern_colour_brewer: Sequential, diverging and qualitative colour scales from colorbrewer.org

Description

The brewer scales provides sequential, diverging and qualitative colour schemes from ColorBrewer. These are particularly well suited to display discrete values on a map. See http://colorbrewer2.org for more information.

Usage

scale_pattern_colour_brewer(
  ...,
  type = "seq",
  palette = 1,
  direction = 1,
  aesthetics = "pattern_colour"
)
scale_pattern_fill_brewer(
  ...,
  type = "seq",
  palette = 1,
  direction = 1,
  aesthetics = "pattern_fill"
)
scale_pattern_fill2_brewer(
  ...,
  type = "seq",
  palette = 1,
  direction = 1,
  aesthetics = "pattern_fill2"
)
scale_pattern_colour_distiller(
  ...,
  type = "seq",
  palette = 1,
  direction = -1,
  values = NULL,
  space = "Lab",
  na.value = "grey50",
  guide = "colourbar",
  aesthetics = "pattern_colour"
)
scale_pattern_fill_distiller(
  ...,
  type = "seq",
  palette = 1,
  direction = -1,
  values = NULL,
  space = "Lab",
  na.value = "grey50",
  guide = "colourbar",
  aesthetics = "pattern_fill"
)
scale_pattern_fill2_distiller(
  ...,
  type = "seq",
  palette = 1,
  direction = -1,
  values = NULL,
  space = "Lab",
  na.value = "grey50",
  guide = "colourbar",
  aesthetics = "pattern_fill2"
)

Arguments

...

Other arguments passed on to discrete_scale(), continuous_scale(), or binned_scale(), for brewer, distiller, and fermenter variants respectively, to control name, limits, breaks, labels and so forth.

palette

If a string, will use that named palette. If a number, will index into the list of palettes of appropriate type. The list of available palettes can found in the Palettes section.

direction, type, aesthetics, values, space, na.value, guide

See ggplot2::scale_colour_brewer for more information.

Palettes

The following palettes are available for use with these scales:

Diverging: BrBG, PiYG, PRGn, PuOr, RdBu, RdGy, RdYlBu, RdYlGn, Spectral
Qualitative: Accent, Dark2, Paired, Pastel1, Pastel2, Set1, Set2, Set3
Sequential: Blues, BuGn, BuPu, GnBu, Greens, Greys, Oranges, OrRd, PuBu, PuBuGn, PuRd, Purples, RdPu, Reds, YlGn, YlGnBu, YlOrBr, YlOrRd

Modify the palette through the palette arguement.

Details

The brewer scales were carefully designed and tested on discrete data. They were not designed to be extended to continuous data, but results often look good. Your mileage may vary.
