Provides colorpalettes containing R built-in colors

Description

Provides pre-designed colorpalettes (character vectors containing R built-in colors) of this and several other R packages (grDevices, RColorBrewer, colorRamps) as well as custom-made ones.

Usage

colorpalette(
  colpal,
  nrcol = NULL,
  simulate = FALSE,
  daltonize = FALSE,
  cvd = "p",
  alpha = NULL,
  rev = FALSE
)

Arguments

colpal

a character vector containing R built-in color names or a name of a LSD colorpalette as a character string (see disco() or disco).

nrcol

a non-negative integer specifying the number of colors to be used (defaults to length of colpal, if not specified).

simulate

logical: if TRUE (FALSE by default), a converted colorpalette is returned to simulate dichromat vision according to http://www.daltonize.org (see daltonize).

daltonize

logical: if TRUE (FALSE by default), a converted colorpalette is returned to enhance dichromat vision according to http://www.daltonize.org (see daltonize).

cvd

character string implying the type of color vision deficiency ("p" for protanope, "d" for deuteranope or "t" for tritanope).

alpha

alpha value: a two-digit integer between 01 and 99 for color opacity, i.e. appearance of partial or full transparency (usage omitted by default).

rev

logical: if TRUE (FALSE by default), a reversed colorpalette is returned.
