colour.scale: colour.scale

In Beothuk/bio.utilities: Package that interacts with bio providing base-level generic routines to make your life easier.

Description

This functions return a vector of length x KML (Google Earth) colour codes using a pre-defined palettes ('seis').

Usage

colour.scale(type = "seis", nlevels = 10, x = NULL, transparency = 0.9)

Arguments

type	= default is seis
nlevels	= the number of unique colours to generate (default is 10)
x	= a vector
transparency	= the transparency of the resultant colours (default is 0.9)

Value

list of 2: $y is a vector of x-1 length, which can used to assign the colours of $cols to the original vector x; $cols is a vector of KML colours of length nlevels

Note

not totally sure if this function works as intended. It seems as though nlevels should return the number of colours specified - not one less. Jae or Adam might have more information about this.
