Description
All functions documented here are part of the {ggplot2} package, which is part of the {tidyverse}.
The {ggplot2} package provides several useful functions for specifying colorbrewer color/fill palettes for your color/fill aesthetic mapping scales. For more information on using this function to customize your theme, please either…
- See this tutorial on the
{introverse}website - Or, run this command in
RConsole:vignette("color_fill_scales", package = "introverse")
Briefly, there are four possible functions you might want to use depending on whether you are specifying a color or a fill, and type of variable being aesthetically mapped. To reverse the direction of any scale, include the optional argument direction = -1.
| Aesthetic | Mapped variable type | ggplot2 function |
|---|---|---|
| Color | Discrete/categorical | scale_color_brewer(palette = 'name of colorbrewer palette') |
| Color | Continuous | scale_color_distiller(palette = 'name of colorbrewer palette') |
| Fill | Discrete/categorical | scale_fill_brewer(palette = 'name of colorbrewer palette') |
| Fill | Continuous | scale_fill_distiller(palette = 'name of colorbrewer palette') |
The available colorbrewer palettes include the following:
