Set CCF color palette — set_ccf

This function sets the CCF color palette as the default colors. It does this by adding custom functions,scale_colour_discrete() and scale_fill_discrete(), to the global environment. A typical workflow would include this function at the top of a script, and subsequent calls to ggplot() will utilize the CCF color palette. This function was originally written by Michael Curry at MSK, and only modified here to utilize CCF colors. I also made a few minor changes

set_ccf_palette(palette = "all", reverse = FALSE, colors = NULL)

Arguments

palette: specify the color palette of interest. Default is "all". Other options include "main", "bright", "neutral", "blues", and "greens".
reverse: logical to reverse the color palette. Defaults to FALSE.
colors: an optional argument of hex colors in an unnamed vector. When provided the palette = argument is overridden and the colors supplied will be used. Default is NULL.

Examples

library(ggplot2)
set_ccf_palette()
#> <environment: R_GlobalEnv>
ggplot(mtcars, aes(wt, mpg, color = factor(cyl))) +
  geom_point()


# using the color argument to select a few from the CCF color palette
set_ccf_palette(colors = ccf_palettes[["main"]][c(2,5,6)])
#> <environment: R_GlobalEnv>
ggplot(mtcars, aes(wt, mpg, color = factor(cyl))) +
  geom_point()
