color.scale: A simple wrapper to create colors for a continuous variable

In GoodFibes: Detection and Reconstruction of Muscle Fibers from diceCT Image Data

A simple wrapper to create colors for a continuous variable

Description

For any continuous variable like fiber length, produces a vector that can be used in plotting functions for the col argument. Uses colorRampPalette.

Usage

color.scale(fl, cols, min.fl=NULL, max.fl=NULL)

Arguments

fl	A numeric vector containing a measurement for each fiber in a fiber list (length, curvature or angle).
cols	A character vector for determining the color gradient, in order from small to large values. Alternatively "viridis", "rainbow", "inferno" and "turbo" will supply these preset color gradients.
min.fl	A imposed lowest value of fl for the color scale. Can be used to make color legends equivalent across different plots.
max.fl	A imposed highest value of fl for the color scale. Can be used to make color legends equivalent across different plots.

Value

A vector with color values for each fiber

Examples

data(ant.final)
fl<-fiber.lengths(ant.final, res = 0.000673107, df=1)

cols<-color.scale(fl, c("blue", "green"))
muscle.plot.stl(ant.final, res = 0.000673107, cols = cols, mirror.axis = TRUE, df=1)
