utility.calc.colors: Color Scheme for Value Functions

In utility: Construct, Evaluate and Plot Value and Utility Functions

Color Scheme for Value Functions

Description

Function to calculate a color scheme for value functions.

Usage

utility.calc.colors(n = 5)

Arguments

n	number of colors.

Details

For n = 5 this function produces the standard colors red, orange, yellow, green and blue as used in river assessment programs. These colors are provided in a lighter version to improve readability of black text in front of the colored background. For large values of n quasi-continuous transitions are defined between these colors. Any other vector of colors can be used by the plotting routines.

Value

Character vector of colors.
