add range to color scales?

Question

add range to color scales?

Opened this issue 9 years ago · 3 comments

Hi Spencer - it would be nice to have the ability to specify a range for the color scales. What do you think about adding this? Was there a reason you didn't include it before?

Wouldn't that just be an ordinal scale? For example, the category10 color scale is just an ordinal scale with a predefined set of 10 colors: https://github.com/d3/d3-scale/blob/master/src/category10.js

ok, good point - a generic ordinal-scale helper would be great for this kind of thing

You said that and I thought "Of course there's an ordinal-scale helper"...whoops. Agreed. I'll try to add that shortly.
