grey.colors(n, start = 0.3, end = 0.9, gamma = 2.2, alpha = NULL, rev = FALSE)

Arguments

n

the number of gray colors (\(\ge 1\)) to be in the palette.

gamma

the gamma correction.

alpha

the opacity, is specified.

Value

A vector of n gray colors.

Details

The function gray.colors chooses a series of n gamma-corrected gray levels between start and end: seq(start^gamma, end^gamma, length = n)^(1/gamma). The returned palette contains the corresponding gray colors. This palette is used in barplot.default.
