Create a color vector

Creates a color vector using different palettes, e.g. from the colorspace package.

getcolors(N, palette, col.opt = list(), revert = FALSE)

Arguments

N	Number of colors.
palette	Palette shortcut: "rgb","hsv" RGB rainbow colors. See rainbow . "hcl" HCL rainbow colors. See rainbow_hcl . "s","seq","sqt","sqn","sequential" See sequential_hcl "d","div","diverging","diverge" See diverge_hcl "h","heat","heatcolors" See heat_hcl "t","ter","terrain" See terrain_hcl "Wijffelaars","w","wijf", "q17" A fixed vector of 17 qualitative colors defined by Wijffelaars (2008). . defined by Wijffelaars (2008).
col.opt	Options for the palette. See help pages for the specific palettes.
