Source: R/discrete-uchicago.R
scale_uchicago.Rd

See pal_uchicago() for details.

Usage

scale_color_uchicago(palette = c("default", "light", "dark"), alpha = 1, ...)

scale_colour_uchicago(palette = c("default", "light", "dark"), alpha = 1, ...)

scale_fill_uchicago(palette = c("default", "light", "dark"), alpha = 1, ...)

Arguments

palette

Palette type. There are three available options:

  • "default" (9-color palette);

  • "light" (9-color light palette);

  • "dark" (9-color dark palette).

alpha

Transparency level, a real number in (0, 1]. See alpha in grDevices::rgb() for details.

Examples

library("ggplot2")
data("diamonds")

p1 <- ggplot(
  subset(diamonds, carat >= 2.2),
  aes(x = table, y = price, colour = cut)
) +
  geom_point(alpha = 0.7) +
  geom_smooth(method = "loess", alpha = 0.1, size = 1, span = 1) +
  theme_bw()

p2 <- ggplot(
  subset(diamonds, carat > 2.2 & depth > 55 & depth < 70),
  aes(x = depth, fill = cut)
) +
  geom_histogram(colour = "black", binwidth = 1, position = "dodge") +
  theme_bw()

p1 + scale_color_uchicago()
#> `geom_smooth()` using formula = 'y ~ x'

p2 + scale_fill_uchicago()


p1 + scale_color_uchicago(palette = "light")
#> `geom_smooth()` using formula = 'y ~ x'

p2 + scale_fill_uchicago(palette = "light")


p1 + scale_color_uchicago(palette = "dark")
#> `geom_smooth()` using formula = 'y ~ x'

p2 + scale_fill_uchicago(palette = "dark")
