Overview

About

Maintained by Christopher T. KennyFirst published 2023-03-233 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides color palettes based on crayon colors since the early 1900s. Colors are based on various crayon colors, sets, and promotional palettes, most of which can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Crayola_crayon_colors. All palettes are discrete palettes and are not necessarily color-blind friendly. Provides scales for 'ggplot2' for discrete coloring.

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash

sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-crayons

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
