RColorBrewer Color Ramp for EpiModel Plots
Description
Returns a vector of colors consistent with a high-brightness set
of colors from an RColorBrewer
palette.
Usage
brewer_ramp(n, plt, delete.lights = TRUE)
Arguments
n |
Number of colors to return. |
plt |
|
delete.lights |
If TRUE, delete the lightest colors from the color palette; this helps with plotting in many high-contrast palettes. |
Details
RColorBrewer
provides easy access to helpful color palettes, but the
built-in palettes are limited to the set of colors in the existing palette.
This function expands the palette size to any number of colors by filling
in the gaps. Also, colors within the "div" and "seq" set of palettes whose
colors are very light (close to white) are deleted by default for better
visualization of plots.
Value
A vector of length equal to n
with a range of color values consistent
with an RColorBrewer color palette.
