myPalette: Microarray color palette

In GLAD: Gain and Loss Analysis of DNA

Description

This function returns a vector of color names corresponding to a range of colors specified in the arguments.

Usage

myPalette(low = "white", high = c("green", "red"), mid=NULL, k =50)

Arguments

low	Color for the lower end of the color palette, specified using any of the three kinds of R colors, i.e., either a color name (an element of colors), a hexadecimal string of the form "#rrggbb", or an integer i meaning palette()[i].
high	Color for the upper end of the color palette, specified using any of the three kinds of R colors, i.e., either a color name (an element of colors), a hexadecimal string of the form "#rrggbb", or an integer i meaning palette()[i].
mid	Color for the middle portion of the color palette, specified using any of the three kinds of R colors, i.e., either a color name (an element of colors), a hexadecimal string of the form "#rrggbb", or an integer i meaning palette()[i].
k	Number of colors in the palette.

Value

A "character" vector of color names. This can be used to create a user-defined color palette for subsequent graphics by palette, in a col= specification in graphics functions, or in par.
