colourvalues (version 0.2.2)

colour_values_rgb: Colour Values RGB

Description

Maps colours to variables, returning a matrix of RGB(A) values

Usage

colour_values_rgb(x, palette = "viridis", na_colour = "#808080FF",
  alpha = 255, include_alpha = TRUE, ...)

color_values_rgb(x, palette = "viridis", na_colour = "#808080FF", alpha = 255, include_alpha = TRUE, ...)

# S3 method for character colour_values_to_rgb(x, palette, na_colour, alpha, include_alpha, summary = FALSE)

# S3 method for default colour_values_to_rgb(x, palette, na_colour, alpha, include_alpha, n_summaries = 0, format = TRUE, digits = 2)

# S3 method for logical colour_values_to_rgb(x, palette, na_colour, alpha, include_alpha, summary = FALSE)

# S3 method for factor colour_values_to_rgb(x, palette, na_colour, alpha, include_alpha, summary = FALSE)

# S3 method for Date colour_values_to_rgb(x, palette, na_colour, alpha, include_alpha, n_summaries = 0, format = TRUE)

# S3 method for POSIXct colour_values_to_rgb(x, palette, na_colour, alpha, include_alpha, n_summaries = 0, format = TRUE)

# S3 method for POSIXlt colour_values_to_rgb(x, palette, na_colour, alpha, include_alpha, n_summaries = 0, format = TRUE)

Arguments

x

vector of values to map to a colour

palette

colour palette. See details and examples

na_colour

hex string colour to use for NA values in the form #RRGGBBAA.

alpha

optional. Single value in [0,255] applied to all colours, or a decimal in [0, 1) (to indicate a percentage, noting 1 is excluded), or a vector of numeric values the same length as x. The numeric vector will be scaled into the range [0,255]. If a matrix palette is supplied this argument is ignored.

include_alpha

logical indicating if the returned hex or matrix should include the alpha values. Defaults to TRUE.

...

other arguments possed to methods

summary

logical indicating if a summary of the colours should be returned as well as the full colour mapping. This will be the unique elements of x mapped to the colour.

n_summaries

positive integer. If supplied a summary colour palette will be returned in a list, containing n_summaries equally spaced values of x in the range [min(x),max(x)], and their associated colours. If a non-numeric x is used this value is ignored

format

logical indicating if the summary values should be formatted. See details

digits

Integer. When summarising a numeric vector you can specify the number of decimal places to include in the summary values

Details

The palette can either be

  • String - use colour_palettes() to view available palettes

  • Matrix - At least 5 rows, and 3 (or 4) columns representing the red, green and blue (and alpha) values

The matrix palette requires 5 rows because the colours are interpolated using a cubic b-spline. This method requires 5 values.

when summary = TRUE, the following rules are applied to the summary values

  • logical vectors are converted to "TRUE" or "FALSE" strings

  • all other types remain as-is, unless format = T is used

when format = TRUE,

  • numbers are converted to strings with the specified number of decimal places (using digits argument)

  • Dates are formatted as "yyyy-mm-dd"
