Set of colors for plotting multiple curves

multi_curve_colors returns a vector of color specifications that work reasonably well for plotting multiple curves on the same axes.

multi_curve_line_colors returns the same vector, but with the first color set to be transparent. multi_curve_point_colors also returns the same vector, but with all colors except the first set to transparent. These color specifications can be helpful when plotting measured data along with fits, allowing the data to be displayed as points and the fits as lines.

Usage

multi_curve_colors()

  multi_curve_line_colors()

  multi_curve_point_colors()

Details

The color set was originally formed by calling the following:

multi_curve_colors <- c( "#000000", RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(8, "Set2"), RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(12, "Paired")[c(1:10,12)], RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(8, "Dark2") )

Value

A character vector with 28 elements, each of which is a hexadecimal color specification.
