Overview

Tired of agonizing over color choices for your data visualizations? Let DOYPAColors do the heavy lifting for you! Our R package provides a delightful array of color palettes, each meticulously crafted to enhance your plots. With DOYPAColors, you can even let us surprise you with a palette choice, so you can focus on what matters most—telling your data’s unique story. Say goodbye to color selection headaches and hello to vibrant, eye-catching visuals! 🎨

Installation

To install DOYPAColors from CRAN, use:

install.packages("DOYPAColors")

For the development version from GitHub, use:

if (!require("devtools")) {
  install.packages("devtools")
}

devtools::install_github("jmestret/DOYPAColors")

How to use

Using DOYPAColors is straightforward. Access and utilize our palettes in your R plots with a single line of code:

library(DOYPAColors)
color_palette <- doypa()

You can then apply these palettes to your ggplot2 plots using the functions scale_fill_doypa() and scale_color_doypa():

library(ggplot2)

# Create a bar plot with a DOYPAColors palette
ggplot(iris, aes(x = Species, y = Sepal.Length, fill = Species)) +
    geom_boxplot() +
    scale_fill_doypa(discrete = TRUE) +
    theme_classic()

You can explore how specific palettes fit different types of data using the preview_pal() function:

preview_pal("doypa")
