setpalette {MQMF}

setpalette is a shortcut for altering the palette to R4

Description

setpalette is a shortcut for changing the color palette to the R 4.0.0 default version. The R4 palette provides a less garish and a more visible set of default colours that can be called using the numbers 1 - 8. An important point is that this alters the default colours for all sessions until a restart of R. Using something similar you can define your own preferred palettes should you wish to. In addition, it can be used to revert to the old R3 default colour scheme should you wish. Alternatively, you could define your own palettes and switch between them using setpalette.

Usage

setpalette(x = "R4")

Arguments

x

either "default", "R3", or "R4", with R4 as the default value. Use "R3" to revert back to the standard R version 3. values.

Value

nothing but it does alter the base colour palette

Examples

   setpalette("R3")
   plot(1:8,rep(0.25,8),type="p",pch=16,cex=5,col=c(1:8))
   text(1,0.2,"R3.0.0 - some garish or pale",cex=1.5,
        font=7,pos=4)
   setpalette("R4")
   points(1:8,rep(0.3,8),pch=16,cex=5,col=c(1:8)) #toprow
   text(1,0.325,"Default R4.0.0 - more balanced",cex=1.5,
        font=7,pos=4)
