bpy.colors: blue-pink-yellow color scheme that prints well as grey tone

Description

Create a vector of `n' ``contiguous'' colors.

Usage

bpy.colors(n = 100, cutoff.tails = 0.1)

Arguments

n

number of colors (>= 1) to be in the palette

cutoff.tails

tail fraction to be cut off. This palette runs from black to white if cutoff.tails is 0; by cutting off the tails, it runs from blue to yellow, which looks nicer.

Value

• A character vector, `cv', of color names. This can be used either to create a user-defined color palette for subsequent graphics by `palette(cv)', a `col=' specification in graphics functions or in `par'.
