In tsostarics/nucolors: What the Package Does (One Line, Title Case)

nucolors

This package is intended to bring the Northwestern University official color palettes to ggplot by a series of scale_fill, scale_color, and theme functions. The package itself is not officially licensed/endorsed by Northwestern University.

Current functionality includes _discrete, _gradient, _gradient2, and gradientn variants of scale_fill and scale_color for ggplot. Northwestern's main palette and also secondary palettes are available to use. There are options to reverse gradation order and emphasize things with the Northwestern 100 shade of purple.

Development is currently on hiatus until I get access to a projector, but future planned updates include: - Change ordering of colors to maximize contrast - Double check palettes to test for color-blind friendliness (I want to use a projector to make sure the colors come across well when viewed during a live presentation) - Create unified theme() functions to quickly make an informative Northwestern-themed visualization. This will include dark and light palettes. Additional functionality would include corner logo and department arguments.
