splitColorVar {oaPlots}

Function to take a numeric vector 'colorVar' and palette 'colorPalette', and return a list containing a vector of color assignments for each element of 'colorVar' (to be used in plot calls), and a vector of breaks defining the color regions (to be used in densityLegend)

Description

Function to take a numeric vector 'colorVar' and palette 'colorPalette', and return a list containing a vector of color assignments for each element of 'colorVar' (to be used in plot calls), and a vector of breaks defining the color regions (to be used in densityLegend)

Usage

splitColorVar(colorVar, colorPalette, breaks = NULL)

Arguments

colorVar

the numeric vector of values used to color the points

colorPalette

a color palette. If 'colorPalette' contains, for example, 6 colors, then the values of colorVar will be split and assigned to these 6 colors

breaks

(optional) a numeric vector of two or more unique cut points

Value

a list containing a vector of color assignments ('colorVec') for each element of 'colorVar' (to be used in plot calls), and a vector of breaks ('breaks') defining the color regions (to be used in densityLegend)
