redefine ggplot2::scale_fill_gradient() — scale_fill

Selects the colours depending on the current set theme.

Usage

scale_fill_gradient(
  ...,
  low,
  high,
  space = "Lab",
  na.value = "grey50",
  guide = "colourbar",
  aesthetics = "fill"
)

Arguments

...

Arguments passed on to continuous_scale

scale_name

The name of the scale that should be used for error messages associated with this scale.

palette

A palette function that when called with a numeric vector with values between 0 and 1 returns the corresponding output values (e.g., scales::pal_area()).

breaks

One of:

NULL for no breaks
waiver() for the default breaks computed by the transformation object
A numeric vector of positions
A function that takes the limits as input and returns breaks as output (e.g., a function returned by scales::extended_breaks()). Note that for position scales, limits are provided after scale expansion. Also accepts rlang lambda function notation.

minor_breaks

One of:

NULL for no minor breaks
waiver() for the default breaks (one minor break between each major break)
A numeric vector of positions
A function that given the limits returns a vector of minor breaks. Also accepts rlang lambda function notation. When the function has two arguments, it will be given the limits and major breaks.

n.breaks

An integer guiding the number of major breaks. The algorithm may choose a slightly different number to ensure nice break labels. Will only have an effect if breaks = waiver(). Use NULL to use the default number of breaks given by the transformation.

labels

One of:

NULL for no labels
waiver() for the default labels computed by the transformation object
A character vector giving labels (must be same length as breaks)
An expression vector (must be the same length as breaks). See ?plotmath for details.
A function that takes the breaks as input and returns labels as output. Also accepts rlang lambda function notation.

limits

One of:

NULL to use the default scale range
A numeric vector of length two providing limits of the scale. Use NA to refer to the existing minimum or maximum
A function that accepts the existing (automatic) limits and returns new limits. Also accepts rlang lambda function notation. Note that setting limits on positional scales will remove data outside of the limits. If the purpose is to zoom, use the limit argument in the coordinate system (see coord_cartesian()).

rescaler

A function used to scale the input values to the range [0, 1]. This is always scales::rescale(), except for diverging and n colour gradients (i.e., scale_colour_gradient2(), scale_colour_gradientn()). The rescaler is ignored by position scales, which always use scales::rescale(). Also accepts rlang lambda function notation.

oob

One of:

Function that handles limits outside of the scale limits (out of bounds). Also accepts rlang lambda function notation.
The default (scales::censor()) replaces out of bounds values with NA.
scales::squish() for squishing out of bounds values into range.
scales::squish_infinite() for squishing infinite values into range.

trans

Deprecated in favour of transform.

call

The call used to construct the scale for reporting messages.

super

The super class to use for the constructed scale

low

Colour for the low end of the gradient

high

Colour for the high end of the gradient

space

colour space in which to calculate gradient. Must be "Lab" - other values are deprecated.

na.value

Colour to use for missing values

guide

Type of legend. Use "colourbar" for continuous colour bar, or "legend" for discrete colour legend.

aesthetics

Character string or vector of character strings listing the name(s) of the aesthetic(s) that this scale works with. This can be useful, for example, to apply colour settings to the colour and fill aesthetics at the same time, via aesthetics = c("colour", "fill").
