oce (version 1.7-8)

oceColorsGebco: Create colors in a Gebco-like scheme

Description

The colours were determined by examination of paper charts printed during the GEBCO Fifth Edition era. The hues range from dark blue to light blue, then from light brown to dark brown. If used to show topography in scheme centred on z=0, this means that near-coastal regions are light in tone, with darker colours representing both mountains and the deep sea.

Usage

oceColorsGebco(
  n = 9,
  region = c("water", "land", "both"),
  type = c("fill", "line"),
  debug = getOption("oceDebug")
)
