In the paper you see how the HCL coordinates for the different palettes are constructed. The functions rainbow_hcl(), sequential_hcl(), and diverge_hcl() are all direct translations of this, consisting just of a few lines of code. What may be somewhat confusing is that the functions call hex(polarLUV(L, C, H, ...)) instead of hcl(H, C, L, ...) which may yield slightly different results. The reason for this is that the polarLUV() implementation in "colorspace" predates the base R implementation in hcl(). hth, Z Thanks again and in advance for any further pointers, Karl On 10/10/2010 10:41 PM, Paul Murrell wrote: Hi On 11/10/2010 9:01 a.m., Karl Brand wrote: Dear UseRs and DevelopeRs It would be helpful to see the color palette available in the venneuler() function.

Hi Paul, That's pretty much awesome. Thank you very much. And combined with the colorspace package functions- rainbow_hcl() and sequential_hcl() -make color selection easy.

So where i can get the RGB codes like this- > rainbow_hcl(4) [1] "#E495A5" "#ABB065" "#39BEB1" "#ACA4E2" > - which is fine for color specification, is there a palette function that might help obtain the hcl() call needed to produce a given palette? ie., the 'h', 'c' and 'l' (and 'alpha' if appropriate) values for a given color/shade??
