Scales that use the family's tones (discrete/continuous) — scale_color

Discrete scales use albers_discrete(): by default the family's tone is paired with its Albers complement and ochre so adjacent groups stay distinguishable. Use type = "family" for the single-hue ramp. Continuous scales run from a light tint to the family's A900.

Usage

scale_color_albers(
  family = getOption("albersdown.family", "red"),
  discrete = TRUE,
  type = c("contrast", "family"),
  ...
)

scale_fill_albers(
  family = getOption("albersdown.family", "red"),
  discrete = TRUE,
  type = c("contrast", "family"),
  ...
)

Arguments

family: Palette family. Defaults to the albersdown.family option (set by albers_vignette() while a vignette renders), else "red".
discrete: Whether to use a discrete palette; if FALSE, uses a gradient.
type: Discrete colour set, "contrast" (default) or "family"; see albers_discrete().
...: Passed to underlying ggplot2 scale.

Value

A ggplot2 scale object.

Examples

# \donttest{
if (requireNamespace("ggplot2", quietly = TRUE)) {
  ggplot2::ggplot(iris, ggplot2::aes(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width,
    color = Species)) + ggplot2::geom_point() + scale_color_albers()
}
