Names of colorblind-friendly palettes

Description

Lists all palettes that are colorblind-friendly in the package. To be colorblind-friendly, all colors in the palettes must be distinguishable with deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia. Use natparks.pals to construct palettes or colorblind.friendly to test for colorblind-friendliness.

Usage

colorblind_palettes

Format

An object of class character of length 12.

Colorblind-Friendly Palette Check

Description

Checks whether a palette is colorblind-friendly. Colorblind-friendliness tested using the 'colorblindcheck' package. To be colorblind-friendly, all colors in the palettes must be distinguishable with deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia.

Usage

colorblind.friendly(palette_name)

Arguments

palette_name

Name of Palette. Choices are: Acadia, Arches, Arches2, Banff, Bryce Canyon, CapitolReef, Charmonix, Cuyahoga, DeathValley, Denali, Everglades, Glacier, GrandCanyon, Halekala, IguazuFalls, KingsCanyon, LakeNakuru, Olympic, Redwood, RockyMtn, Saguaro, SmokyMtns, SouthDowns, Torres, Triglav, WindCave, Volcanoes, Yellowstone, and Yosemite.

Value

TRUE/FALSE value whether palette is colorblind-friendly

Examples

colorblind.friendly("DeathValley")

View all Palettes available

Description

Function for viewing all palettes available in NatParksPalettes.

Usage

display_all(
  n,
  sequential = FALSE,
  colorblind_only = FALSE,
  direction = 1,
  override.order = FALSE
)

Arguments

n

Number of requested colors. If n is left blank, default palette is returned.
sequential

Should palettes displayed all at once, or one at a time. Default is all at once (FALSE).
colorblind_only

Should only colorblind friendly palettes be returned? Default is set to FALSE.
direction

Sets order of colors. Default palette is 1. If direction is -1, palette color order is reversed
override.order

Colors are picked from palette to maximize readability and aesthetics. This means that colors are not always selected in sequential order from the full palette. If override.order is set to TRUE, colors are selected in sequential order from the full palette instead. Default is FALSE.

Value

Plot of all color palettes available

Examples

# All Palettes
display_all(sequential = FALSE, colorblind_only = FALSE)

# All Colorblind Palettes
display_all(sequential = FALSE, colorblind_only = TRUE)

# 5 Colors of all Palettes
display_all(5, sequential = FALSE, colorblind_only = FALSE)

National Parks Palette Generator

Description

Color palettes inspired by National Parks. Complete list of palette colors and the parks that inspired them can be found on Github. Use colorblind.friendly to check whether palettes are colorblind-friendly.

Usage

natparks.pals(
  name,
  n,
  type = c("discrete", "continuous"),
  direction = c(1, -1),
  override.order = FALSE
)

Arguments

name

Name of Palette. Choices are: Acadia, Arches, Arches2, Banff, Bryce Canyon, DeathValley, Everglades, Glacier, GrandCanyon, KingsCanyon, Olympic, Redwood, SmokyMtns, Yellowstone, and Yosemite.
n

Number of desired colors. If number of requested colors is beyond the scope of the palette, colors are automatically interpolated. If n is not provided, the length of the palette is used.
type

Either "continuous" or "discrete". Use continuous if you want to automatically interpolate between colors.
direction

Sets order of colors. Default palette is 1. If direction is -1, palette color order is reversed
override.order

Colors are picked from palette to maximize readability and aesthetics. This means that colors are not always selected in sequential order from the full palette. If override.order is set to TRUE, colors are selected in sequential order from the full palette instead. Default is FALSE.

Value

A vector of colors.

Examples

natparks.pals("Yellowstone")

natparks.pals("Glacier", direction=-1)

natparks.pals("DeathValley", 4, override.order=TRUE)
