Hi David:

Quick Q: why do some palettes have a hyphen in the name and others not?

I followed the naming conventions of the respective packages that provide the original for the the HCL-based approximations. But when you specify the palette name in hcl.colors() all hyphens, spaces, and the capitalization is ignored anyway:

R> hcl.colors(4, "Dark 3")
[1] "#E16A86" "#909800" "#00AD9A" "#9183E6"
R> hcl.colors(4, "dark3")
[1] "#E16A86" "#909800" "#00AD9A" "#9183E6"
R> hcl.colors(4, "Dark-3")
[1] "#E16A86" "#909800" "#00AD9A" "#9183E6"
R> hcl.colors(4, "Dark----------------3")
[1] "#E16A86" "#909800" "#00AD9A" "#9183E6"

So hopefully this does not lead to too much confusion.

Best wishes,
Z

      Hi everyone,

      I wanted to draw your attention to a new post on the
      developer.R-project.org blog:
https://developer.R-project.org/Blog/public/2019/04/01/hcl-based-color-pale
      ttes-in-grdevices/

      A new function grDevices::hcl.colors() greatly extends the color
      palette
      functionality available in base R. Also, the defaults in the
      heatmap
      functions image() and filled.contour() have been adapted
      accordingly.

      Feedback is welcome, especially regarding potential problems
      with the
      changed defaults.

      Best wishes,
      Z
