mpd_select_colours: Select colours from a palette to maximize perceptual distance...

Description Usage Arguments Value

View source: R/mpd_select_colours.R

Description

This function takes a palette as a character vector of hexidecimal colours, and returns a smaller palette, attempting to maximize the mean perceptual distance (MPD) between the colours in the new palette. It uses CIELAB colorspace to map colour to a perceptually meaningful scale before maximizing distances

mpd_select_colours(pal, sat.thresh = NULL, light.thresh = NULL,
  dark.thresh = NULL, nreps = 10000, ncolours = ceiling(length(pal)/2),
  nreturn = 1)

Arguments

pal

A palette as a character vector containing hexidecimal coded colours

sat.thresh

Minimum saturation of colours in resulting palette (between 0 and 1)

light.thresh

Maximum luminosity of colours in resulting palette (between 0 and 1)

dark.thresh

Minimum luminosity of colours in resulting palette (between 0 and 1)

nreps

The number of samples of the new colour palette to perform for brute force optimization of MPD

ncolours

The number of colours to select for the new palette

nreturn

The number of palettes to return

Value

If nreturn > 1 then a list of length nreturn, each element of which is a character vector of length ncolours consisting of hexidecimal colour codes, else a character vector of length ncolours consisting of hexidecimal colour codes
