change: Simulate Color-Blindness

In khroma: Colour Schemes for Scientific Data Visualization

Simulate Color-Blindness

Description

Simulate Color-Blindness

Usage

change(x, mode)

Arguments

x	A palette function that when called with a single integer argument (the number of levels) returns a vector of colors (see color()).
mode	A character string giving the colorblind vision to be used. It must be one of "deuteranopia", "protanopia", "tritanopia" or "achromatopsia". Any unambiguous substring can be given.

Value

A palette function that returns a vector of anomalized colors. All the attributes of the initial palette function are inherited, with a supplementary attribute "mode" giving the corresponding color-blind vision.

# Deuteranopia
deu <- change(pal, mode = "deuteranopia")
plot_scheme(deu(7))

# Protanopia
pro <- change(pal, mode = "protanopia")

# Tritanopia
tri <- change(pal, mode = "tritanopia")
plot_scheme(tri(7))

# Achromatopsia
ach <- change(pal, mode = "achromatopsia")
plot_scheme(ach(7))

## Plot simulated color blindness
