chameleon
contains a set of functions for automatically
assigning colors to multi-dimensional data. The colors are distinct (as
much as possible) and also reflect the internal structure of the data
(as much as possible).
See the published R package, the rdocumentation, or the latest github version documentation for details. Specifically, the vignette explains why and how to use this package.
To install it, use:
install.packages('chameleon')
In general, if you have a matrix whose rows represent some
elements/observations and whose columns represent some
variables/measurements, then use chameleon::data_colors
to
obtain a color for each row. You can pass this function the optional
groups
parameter which assigns a group to each row, to
obtain a color for each group instead of a color for each row.
See the published R package, the rdocumentation, or the latest github version documentation’s reference section for the list and description of the available functions.
