hex_bw: Identify a suitable font color (black or white) given a background HEX color

Description

You could use auto_contrast as a shortcut of aes(colour = after_scale(hex_bw(.data$fill))). You should use !!! to inject it within ggplot2::aes() (see examples).

hex_bw_threshold() is a variation of hex_bw(). For values below threshold, black ("#000000") will always be returned, regardless of hex_code.

Usage

hex_bw(hex_code)
hex_bw_threshold(hex_code, values, threshold)
auto_contrast

Value

Either black or white, in hex-format

Format

An object of class uneval of length 1.

Arguments

hex_code

Background color in hex-format.

values

Values to be compared.

threshold

Threshold.

Examples

hex_bw("#0dadfd")
