scale_colour_gradient2_tableau: Tableau diverging colour scales (continuous)

In ggthemes: Extra Themes, Scales and Geoms for 'ggplot2'

Tableau diverging colour scales (continuous)

Description

Continuous color scales using the diverging color scales in Tableau. See \funclinkscale_colour_tableau for Tabaleau discrete color scales, and \funclinkscale_colour_gradient_tableau for sequential color scales.

Usage

scale_colour_gradient2_tableau(
  palette = "Orange-Blue Diverging",
  ...,
  midpoint = 0,
  na.value = "grey50",
  guide = "colourbar"
)

scale_fill_gradient2_tableau(
  palette = "Orange-Blue Diverging",
  ...,
  midpoint = 0,
  na.value = "grey50",
  guide = "colourbar"
)

scale_color_gradient2_tableau(
  palette = "Orange-Blue Diverging",
  ...,
  midpoint = 0,
  na.value = "grey50",
  guide = "colourbar"
)

Arguments

palette	Palette name. "ordered-sequential" \Sexpr[results=rd]{ggthemes:::rd_optlist(names(ggthemes::ggthemes_data$tableau[["color-palettes"]][["ordered-sequential"]]))} "ordered-diverging" \Sexpr[results=rd]{ggthemes:::rd_optlist(names(ggthemes::ggthemes_data$tableau[["color-palettes"]][["ordered-diverging"]]))}
...	Arguments passed to tableau_gradient_pal.
midpoint	The data value that corresponds to the middle color of the diverging palette.
na.value	Colour to use for missing values
guide	Type of legend. Use 'colourbar' for continuous colour bar, or 'legend' for discrete colour legend.

Examples

library("ggplot2")

df <- data.frame(
  x = runif(100),
  y = runif(100),
  z1 = rnorm(100),
  z2 = abs(rnorm(100))
)
p <- ggplot(df, aes(x, y)) +
  geom_point(aes(colour = z2))

palettes <-
  ggthemes_data[["tableau"]][["color-palettes"]][["ordered-diverging"]]
for (palette in head(names(palettes))) {
  print(p + scale_colour_gradient2_tableau(palette) + ggtitle(palette))
}

# If you need to reverse a palette, use a transformation
p + scale_colour_gradient2_tableau(trans = "reverse")
