FSA (version 0.9.5)

col2rgbt: Converts an R color to RGB (red/green/blue) including a transparency (alpha channel).

Description

Converts an R color to RGB (red/green/blue) including a transparency (alpha channel). Similar to col2rgb except that a transparency (alpha channel) can be included.

Usage

col2rgbt(col, transp = 1)

Value

A vector of hexadecimal strings of the form "#rrggbbaa" as would be returned by rgb.

Arguments

col

A vector of any of the three kinds of R color specifications (i.e., either a color name (as listed by colors()), a hexadecimal string of the form "#rrggbb" or "#rrggbbaa" (see rgb), or a positive integer i meaning palette()[i].

transp

A numeric vector that indicates the transparency level for the color. The transparency values must be greater than 0. Transparency values greater than 1 are interpreted as the number of points plotted on top of each other before the transparency is lost and is, thus, transformed to the inverse of the transparency value provided.
