Demonstrating Palette

Set Up

library(unhcRstyle)
library(ggplot2)

# make fake data for plots ----
points <- data.frame(x = 1:10, y = 1:10)
distrb <- data.frame(x = rep(1:6, 10), y = rnorm(60, 0, 1))

# make plots for themes ----
g_points <- ggplot(points, aes(x, y, col = factor(x))) + geom_point(size = 5)
g_distrb <- ggplot(distrb, aes(y, fill = factor(x))) + geom_density() + facet_wrap(. ~ x, ncol = 3)
g_points_cont <- ggplot(points, aes(x, y, col = x)) + geom_point(size = 5)

Key Colors

The colors in the discrete palette are:

scales::show_col(test_pal)

The colors used to define the conintuous palette spectrum are:

scales::show_col(test_pal_cont)

The colors used in the diverging palette are:

scales::show_col(test_pal_div)

Discrete Palettes

Consider the following plots:

g_points

g_distrb

Fixed-length discrete palettes use the palette’s selected colors until they run out, then it uses grey for all additional levels of the aesthetic.

g_points + scale_color_discrete_unhcr(palette = "test")
#> Warning: This manual palette can handle a maximum of 4 values. You have supplied
#> 10.Set parameter extend = TRUE if you wish to interpolate a broader spectrum of
#> colors.

g_distrb +  scale_fill_discrete_unhcr(palette = "test")
#> Warning: This manual palette can handle a maximum of 4 values. You have supplied
#> 6.Set parameter extend = TRUE if you wish to interpolate a broader spectrum of
#> colors.

Interpolated palettes extend the discrete palette by interpolating additional values.

g_points + 
  scale_color_discrete_unhcr(palette = "test", extend = TRUE)


g_distrb + 
  scale_fill_discrete_unhcr(palette = "test", extend = TRUE)

Opinionated palettes color specific values for “good”, “bad”, and “neutral” in your dataset.

points$assessment <- "neutral"
points$assessment[points$x > 5] <- "good"
points$assessment[points$x < 3] <- "bad"

ggplot(points, aes(x, y, col = assessment)) + 
  geom_point() + 
  scale_color_opinionated_unhcr(palette = "test")
