Tableau Color Palettes (discrete)

Description

Color palettes used in Tableau.

Usage

tableau_color_pal(
  palette = "Tableau 10",
  type = c("regular", "ordered-sequential", "ordered-diverging"),
  direction = 1
)

Arguments

palette	Palette name. See Details for available palettes.
type	Type of palette. One of "regular", "ordered-diverging", or "ordered-sequential".
direction	If 1, the default, then use the original order of colors. If -1, then reverse the order.

Details

Tableau provides three types of color palettes: "regular" (discrete, qualitative categories), "ordered-sequential", and "ordered-diverging".

"regular"

\Sexpr[results=rd]{ggthemes:::rd_optlist(names(ggthemes::ggthemes_data$tableau[["color-palettes"]][["regular"]]))}

"ordered-diverging"

\Sexpr[results=rd]{ggthemes:::rd_optlist(names(ggthemes::ggthemes_data$tableau[["color-palettes"]][["ordered-diverging"]]))}

"ordered-sequential"

\Sexpr[results=rd]{ggthemes:::rd_optlist(names(ggthemes::ggthemes_data$tableau[["color-palettes"]][["ordered-sequential"]]))}
