scale_colour_grey: Sequential grey colour scale.

Description

Based on gray.colors

Usage

scale_colour_grey(..., start = 0.2, end = 0.8,
    na.value = "red")

scale_fill_grey(..., start = 0.2, end = 0.8, na.value = "grey50")

scale_color_grey(..., start = 0.2, end = 0.8, na.value = "red")

Arguments

start
gray value at low end of palette
end
gray value at high end of palette
...
Other arguments passed on to continuous_scale to control name, limits, breaks, labels and so forth.
na.value
Colour to use for missing values

Examples

Run this code
p <- qplot(mpg, wt, data=mtcars, colour=factor(cyl))
p + scale_colour_grey()
p + scale_colour_grey(end = 0)

# You may want to turn off the pale grey background with this scale
p + scale_colour_grey() + theme_bw()

# Colour of missing values is controlled with na.value:
miss <- factor(sample(c(NA, 1:5), nrow(mtcars), rep = TRUE))
qplot(mpg, wt, data = mtcars, colour = miss) + scale_colour_grey()
qplot(mpg, wt, data = mtcars, colour = miss) +
  scale_colour_grey(na.value = "green")
