zhangyimou - Zhang Yimou Color Palettes
Under Development
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
Usage
Viewing color palettes
The function display_palette()
displays a specified color palette:

Each color palette currently contains 6 colors. Color palettes include those for:
- House of Flying Daggers
- Not One Less

Making your graphs sexy
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"))
