Display THL colours

Usage

thlColorsDisplay(
  n = 1:12,
  type = "quali",
  name = NULL,
  allow.interpolation = FALSE,
  alpha = 1,
  thin = 1
)

Arguments

n	a numerical value or a vector describing how many colours of the palette should be shown
type	a character string describing the type of colour palette. Allowed values are "main" for the THL main colors (8 colors, for printed media), "powerpoint" for the THL powerpoint colors (9 colors, for PowerPoint presentations), "quali" for qualitative palettes, "quanti" for quantitative palettes and "twoway" for twoway quantitative palettes
name	a character string specifying the name of the specific colour palette. Valid values include "line", "bar" and NULL for type "quali", "S1" - "S6" for type "quanti" and "K1" - "K6" for type "twoway" (see examples)
allow.interpolation	a logical TRUE/FALSE whather colour palette interpoation with grDevices::colorRampPalette() should be allowed if n is outside the range of official number of colours in each quantitative or twoway quantitative palettes.

Examples

## show 5 colours from the quantitative colour palette S2
thlColorsDisplay(n = 5, type = "quanti", name = "S2")

## show 8 THL main colours with some transparency
thlColorsDisplay(n = 8, type = "main", alpha = 0.8)

## show THL qualitative colours
thlColorsDisplay(n = 1:10, type = "quali", name = NULL)

## THL qualitative colours in the order in which they should be used in line plots
thlColorsDisplay(n = 1:6, type = "quali", name = "line")

## Attempt to generate 11 colours from twoway quantitative palette K1 yields an error
## Not run: 
thlColorsDisplay(n = 11, type = "twoway", name = "K1")

## End(Not run)
## Allowing interpolation 11 colours can be generated, although not recommended
thlColorsDisplay(n = c(1,3,5,7,9,11), type = "twoway", name = "K1", allow.interpolation = TRUE)
