an R color palette for ggplot2
using NOAA Fisheries branding colors
This implements these
steps
to create a ggplot2
compatible palette according to NOAA Fisheries
branding.
To install from Github use the following:
remotes::install_github("nmfs-general-modeling-tools/nmfspalette")
library(nmfspalette)
We welcome contributions to nmfspalette
. You are welcome to make any
changes you would like on a fork and submit a pull request. For more
substantial changes or to create a branch, please contact
christine.stawitz@noaa.gov (NOAA Affiliates only). We ask that all
contributors adhere to The NOAA Fisheries Integrated Toolbox code of
conduct.
To learn how to use nmfspalette
, please check out the interactive
learnr
tutorial here.
Extract an interpolated color palette from the default “oceans” palette. You can change the number of colors (10 shown below).
nmfspalette::nmfs_palette("oceans")(10)
#> [1] "#0093D0" "#0085C6" "#0077BC" "#0069B2" "#005BA8" "#00539F" "#005097"
#> [8] "#004C8F" "#004987" "#00467F"
To see the palettes, use the display_nmfs_palette()
function.
nmfspalette::display_nmfs_palette("oceans", 4)
nmfspalette::display_nmfs_palette("waves", 4)
nmfspalette::display_nmfs_palette("seagrass", 4)
nmfspalette::display_nmfs_palette("urchin", 4)
nmfspalette::display_nmfs_palette("crustacean", 4)
nmfspalette::display_nmfs_palette("coral", 4)
nmfspalette::display_nmfs_palette("regional web", 6)
nmfspalette::display_nmfs_palette("secondary", 4)
In addition to nmfs_palette
and display_nmfs_palette
to get in-built
palettes, you can extract colors by name. Please see the NOAA Fisheries
Branding guide for color names, all spaces are replaced with underscores
in the color names.
nmfspalette::nmfs_cols("processblue")
#> processblue
#> "#0093D0"
To use the palettes with ggplot2
, the scale_color_nmfs()
and
scale_fill_nmfs()
functions are provided. If no argument is given to
scale_color_nmfs()
, a default (“oceans”) is used:
p <- ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Width, Sepal.Length, color = Species)) +
geom_point(size = 4) +
scale_color_nmfs()
p
scale_fill_nmfs
does not have a default and therefore requires a named
argument for now, this is an example using the “crustacean” palette
ggplot(faithfuld, aes(waiting, eruptions)) +
geom_raster(aes(fill = density)) +
scale_fill_nmfs(palette="crustacean", discrete=FALSE, reverse=TRUE)
