Square color scheme

Description

The square color scheme is similar to the tetradic scheme, but with all four colors spaced around the color circle.

Usage

  square(color, plot = TRUE, bg = "white", labcol = NULL,
    cex = 0.8, title = TRUE)

Arguments

color	an R color name or a color in hexadecimal notation
plot	logical value indicating whether to plot a color wheel with the generated scheme
bg	background color of the plot. Used only when plot=TRUE
labcol	color for the labels (i.e. names of the colors). Used only when plot=TRUE
cex	numeric value indicating the character expansion of the labels
title	logical value indicating whether to display a title in the plot. Used only when plot=TRUE

Details

The square colors are obtained following a color wheel with 12 colors, each one spaced at 30 degrees from each other. Square color schemes tend to work best if you let one color be dominant

Value

A character vector with the given color and the square scheme colors in hexadecimal notation
