tim.colors {fields}R Documentation

Some useful color tables for images.

Description

Two color scales useful for image plots: a pleasing rainbow style color table patterned after that used in Matlab by Tim Hoar and also a simple colr interpolation between two colors passing through white.

Usage

tim.colors(n = 64)
two.colors(n=256, start="darkgreen", end="red", middle="white")

Arguments

n Number of color levels. The setting n=64 is the orignal definition.
start Starting color for lowest values in color scale
end Ending color.
middle Color scale passes through this color at halfway

Details

Ask Tim about tim.colors! two.colors is really about three different colors. For other colors try fields.color.picker to view possible choices. start="darkgreen", end="azure4" are the options used to get a nice color scale for rendering aerial photos of ski trails. (See http://www.image.ucar.edu/Data/MJProject.)

Value

A vector of character strings giving the colors in a hexadecimal format.

Examples


tim.colors(10) 
# returns an array of 10 strings in hex format
#e.g. (red, green,  blue) values of   (16,255, 239)
# translates to "#10FFEF" .

image( outer( 1:20,1:20,"+"), col=tim.colors( 75)) # 75 levels

image( outer( 1:20,1:20,"+"), col=two.colors() )
