COL2: Get diverging colors

Description

Get diverging colors from palette theme name and n. The color palettes are from RColorBrewer, but with the middle color changing to '#FFFFFF'(white), thus we can visualize element 0 with white color. Diverging colors are suitable for visualize a matrix which elements are partly positive and partly negative (e.g. correlation matrix in [-1, 1], or [-20, 100]).

Usage

COL2(diverging = c("RdBu", "BrBG", "PiYG", "PRGn", "PuOr", "RdYlBu"), n = 200)

Value

A character vector containing color names

Arguments

diverging

Diverging color Palettes

n

the number of colors (>= 1) to be in the palette.

Examples

## diverging colors
par(mar = c(0, 0, 0, 0) + 0.1)
plot(0, xlim = c(-0.1, 1), ylim = c(0, 1), type = 'n')

col = c('RdBu', 'BrBG', 'PiYG', 'PRGn', 'PuOr', 'RdYlBu')

for(i in 1:length(col)) {
  colorlegend(COL2(col[i]), -10:10/10, align = 'l', cex = 0.8, xlim = c(0, 1),
              ylim = c(i/length(col)-0.1, i/length(col)), vertical = FALSE)
  text(-0.01, i/length(col)-0.02, col[i], adj = 0.5, pos = 2, cex = 0.8)
}



## sequential colors
par(mar = c(0, 0, 0, 0) + 0.1)
plot(0, xlim = c(-0.1, 1), ylim = c(0, 1), type = 'n')

col = c('Oranges', 'Purples', 'Reds', 'Blues', 'Greens', 'Greys', 'OrRd',
        'YlOrRd', 'YlOrBr', 'YlGn')

for(i in 1:length(col)) {
  colorlegend(COL1(col[i]), 0:10, align = 'l', cex = 0.8, xlim = c(0, 1),
              ylim = c(i/length(col)-0.1, i/length(col)), vertical = FALSE)
  text(-0.01, i/length(col)-0.02, col[i], adj = 0.5, pos = 2)
}
