info_paletteer {gt} | R Documentation |
View a table with info on color palettes
Description
While the data_color()
function allows us to flexibly color data cells in
our gt table, the harder part of this process is discovering and
choosing color palettes that are suitable for the table output. We can make
this process much easier in two ways: (1) by using the paletteer
package, which makes a wide range of palettes from various R packages readily
available, and (2) calling the info_paletteer()
function to give us an
information table that serves as a quick reference for all of the discrete
color palettes available in paletteer.
Usage
info_paletteer(color_pkgs = NULL)
Arguments
color_pkgs |
Filter to specific color packages
A vector of color packages that determines which sets of palettes should be
displayed in the information table. If this is |
Details
The palettes displayed are organized by package and by palette name. These
values are required when obtaining a palette (as a vector of hexadecimal
colors), from the the paletteer::paletteer_d()
function. Once we are
familiar with the names of the color palette packages (e.g.,
RColorBrewer, ggthemes, wesanderson), we can narrow down
the content of this information table by supplying a vector of such package
names to color_pkgs
.
