Ever wondered what your ggplot2 graphs would look like if they were designed by the auteur behind Hero, House of Flying Daggers, and the 2008 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony? This R package allows users to generate graphs with color palettes inspired by iconic scenes in Zhang Yimou's movies.
House of Flying Daggers (2004)
This project is inspired by the R package wesanderson. Colors generated with the help of Palette Generator
The function display_palette() displays a specified color palette:
### Display the color palette for movie "House of Flying Daggers".
> display_palette("FlyingDaggers")
Each color palette currently contains 6 colors. Color palettes include those for:
- House of Flying Daggers
- Not One Less
- Raise the Red Lantern
- The Road Home
The function choose_palette() returns a string vector containing hexadecimal values for a respective movie's color palette:
## Return hexadecimal values representing color palette for movie "House of Flying Daggers".
> choose_palette("FlyingDaggers")
[1] "#C67778" "#3E5866" "#95464D" "#8FA1A8" "#DFDCD7" "#1C1C2F"
choose_palette() can be incorporated into your code for a graph created using the ggplot2 package:
## Create a scatterplot using the "iris" dataset.
## Use the color palette for movie "Raise the Red Lantern"
> ggplot(data = iris, aes(Petal.Length, Petal.Width, colour = Species)) + geom_point() + geom_point(size=3) +
scale_colour_manual(values = choose_palette("RedLantern"))
