Overview

About

Maintained by Alejandro Platas-LópezFirst published 2021-09-071 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A color palette generator inspired by Mexican politics, with colors ranging from red on the left to gray in the middle and green on the right. Palette options range from only a few colors to several colors, but with discrete and continuous options to offer greatest flexibility to the user. This package allows for a range of applications, from mapping brief discrete scales (e.g., four colors for Morena, PRI, and PAN) to continuous interpolated arrays including dozens of shades graded from red to green.
