UKRI Blues Colour Scales (Continuous)

A layer that can be added to ggplot2 plots to change the colour aesthetic to interpolate values from the blues used in the UKRI logo.

Usage

scale_colour_ukri_c(
  ...,
  colours = ukri_blues(),
  midpoint = NULL,
  space = "Lab",
  na.value = cruk_grey(),
  guide = "colourbar",
  aesthetics = "colour"
)

Arguments

...

Arguments passed to ggplot2::scale_colour_gradient or ggplot2::scale_colour_gradient2.

colours

The colour palette to use for the colours of the plot. By default this is the blues from the UKRI logo. Setting this to "purple" will switch this to the UKRI purples.

midpoint

The midpoint (in data value) of the diverging scale. Diverging scale only used if the midpoint is not equal to NULL, which is the default.

space

Colour space in which to calculate the gradient.

na.value

Colour to be used for missing values.

guide

Type of legend.

aesthetics

The aesthetic to apply this scale to.

Value

A layer that can be added to a ggplot2 object.
