Generate a named color palette for discrete classes

Generate a named color palette for discrete classes

Usage

get_palette(classes, others_label = "Others")

Arguments

classes

Character string. The discrete class names or factor levels to map to colors.

others_label

Character, (default = "Others").

Value

A named character vector whose names are the discrete classes and whose values are hex colors. If `others_label` appears in `classes`, it is always mapped to a neutral grey so "Others" has a stable color.

Examples

get_palette(c("Module1", "Module2", "Module3"))
#>   Module1   Module2   Module3 
#> "#8dd3c7" "#ffffb3" "#bebada" 
get_palette(c("Module1", "Module2", "Others"))
#>   Module1   Module2    Others 
#> "#8dd3c7" "#ffffb3" "#bdbdbd"
