The goal of rcartocolor is to provide color schemes for
maps and other graphics designed by CARTO as described at https://carto.com/carto-colors/.
Get the released version from CRAN:
install.packages("rcartocolor")Get the development version from github:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("Nowosad/rcartocolor")Display a CARTOcolor palette:
library(rcartocolor)
display_carto_pal(7, "Vivid")
Create a CARTOcolor palette:
my_colors = carto_pal(7, "Burg")
my_colors
#> [1] "#FFC6C4" "#F4A3A8" "#E38191" "#CC607D" "#AD466C" "#8B3058" "#672044"Display all of the CARTOcolor palettes:
display_carto_all()
Only display colorblind friendly palettes:
display_carto_all(colorblind_friendly = TRUE)
The rcartocolor package contains four
ggplot2 color scales: two for continuous data -
scale_fill_carto_c, scale_color_carto_c and
two for discrete data - scale_fill_carto_d,
scale_color_carto_d:
