R/get.colors.R

#' Choose an R standard color or get the RGB-code of an arbitrary color.
#' 
#' Function lets the user choose a color via a tcltk widget in case it is called with default value of
#' paramater 'continuous'. Otherwise, it plots a grid of differently colored tiles, which can be used to select as many
#' colors as desired by simply clicking at the corresponding tiles.

#' @author Andre Schuetzenmeister \email{andre.schuetzenmeister@@roche.com}
#' 
#' @param continuous (logical) TRUE = one or multiple colors can be chosen from the RGB color-space via a tcltk-widget
#'                            FALSE = a grid is drawn where R standard colors can be selected by clicking on colored-tiles
