| alphaPalette {plotfunctions} | R Documentation |
Manipulate the transparency in a palette.
Description
Generate an color palette with changing transparency.
Usage
alphaPalette(x, f.seq, n = NULL)
Arguments
x |
A vector with color values. Could be a single value specifying a single color palette, ranging in transparency values, or a vector with different colors. |
f.seq |
A vector with transparency values, ranging from 0 to 1. |
n |
Optional argument. A number specifying the number of colors in the
palette. If |
Value
A vector with color values.
Warning
On Linux x11 devices may not support transparency.
In that case, a solution might be to write the plots immediately to a file
using functions such as pdf, or png.

Examples
# a palette of 5 white transparent colors:
alphaPalette('white', f.seq=1:5/5)
# the same palette:
alphaPalette('white', f.seq=c(.2,1), n=5)
# a palette with 10 colors blue, yellow and red, that differ in transparency
alphaPalette(c('blue', 'yellow', 'red'), f.seq=c(0.1,.8), n=10)
