pal.cube {pals} | R Documentation |
Show one palette/colormap in three dimensional RGB or LUV space
Description
The palette is converted to RGB or LUV coordinates and plotted in a three-dimensional scatterplot. The LUV space is probably better, but it is easier to tweak colors by hand in RGB space.
Usage
pal.cube(pal, n = 100, label = FALSE, type = "RGB")
Arguments
pal |
A palette/colormap function or a vector of colors. |
n |
The number of colors to display for palette functions. |
label |
If TRUE, show color name/value on plot |
type |
Either "RGB" (default) or "LUV". |
Details
What to look for:
A good palette has colors that are spread somewhat uniformly in 3D.
Note: The rgl package is NOT included in "Depends" for the pals package because it can cause problems for people. You might have to manually install rgl with install.packages.

Examples
## Not run:
pal.cube(cubehelix)
pal.cube(glasbey, n=32) # RGB, blues are too close to each other
pal.cube(glasbey, n=32, type="LUV")
pal.cube(cols25(25), type="LUV", label=TRUE)
# To open a second cube
rgl.open() # Open a new RGL device
rgl.bg(color = "white") # Setup the background color
pal.cube(colors()[c(1:152, 254:260, 362:657)]) # All R non-grey colors
