fun with R Colors
If you want high-quality, scientifically-researched color schemes for your R plots, check out the RColorBrewer package. If you want your plots to be colored the same way as packs of Skittles (or M&Ms), then this package (RSkittleBrewer) is the way to go.
install
with devtools
:
devtools::install_github('RSkittleBrewer', 'alyssafrazee')
use
There are only two functions in this package.
Call RSkittleBrewer
on a flavor to get a vector of R color names that correspond to that Skittle flavor.
original_colors = RSkittleBrewer('original')
tropical_colors = RSkittleBrewer('tropical')
wildberry_colors = RSkittleBrewer('wildberry')
mm_colors = RSkittleBrewer('M&M')
In this project, M&M is a Skittle flavor. It's cool.
plotSkittles()
makes a super awesome illustration of the color schemes.
I must know more!
