Overview

About

Maintained by Matthew KlingFirst published 2023-10-311 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Generate multivariate color palettes to represent two-dimensional or three-dimensional data in graphics (in contrast to standard color palettes that represent just one variable). You tell 'colors3d' how to map color space onto your data, and it gives you a color for each data point. You can then use these colors to make plots in base 'R', 'ggplot2', or other graphics frameworks.
