colour_mat

Source: R/colour-mat.R
colour_mat.Rd

Generates a 2D matrix of graduated colours by interpolating between the given colours specifying the four corners.

Usage

colour_mat(cols, n = c(10, 10), rotate = NULL, plot = FALSE)

Arguments

cols

vector of length >= 4 of colors (example, default = rainbow (4), or RColorBrewer::brewer.pal (4, 'Set1')). cols are wrapped clockwise around the corners from top left to bottom left.

n

number of rows and columns of colour matrix (default = 10; if length 2, then dimensions of rectangle).

rotate

rotates the entire colour matrix by the specified angle (in degrees).

plot

plots the colour matrix.

Value

Matrix of colours.

add_osm_groups.

Other colours: adjust_colours()

Examples

cm <- colour_mat (n = 5, cols = rainbow (4), rotate = 90, plot = TRUE)



# 'colour_mat' is intended primarily for use in colouring groups added with
# 'add_osm_groups' using the 'colmat = TRUE' option:
bbox <- get_bbox (c (-0.13, 51.5, -0.11, 51.52))
# Generate random points to serve as group centres
set.seed (2)
ngroups <- 6
x <- bbox [1, 1] + runif (ngroups) * diff (bbox [1, ])
y <- bbox [2, 1] + runif (ngroups) * diff (bbox [2, ])
groups <- cbind (x, y)
groups <- apply (groups, 1, function (i) {
    sp::SpatialPoints (matrix (i, nrow = 1, ncol = 2))
})
# plot a basemap and add groups
map <- osm_basemap (bbox = bbox, bg = "gray20")
map <- add_osm_groups (map,
    obj = london$dat_BNR, group = groups,
    cols = rainbow (4), colmat = TRUE, rotate = 90
)
print_osm_map (map)
