lets_plot.scale_fill_brewer¶
- lets_plot.scale_fill_brewer(type=None, palette=None, direction=None, name=None, breaks=None, labels=None, limits=None, na_value=None, guide=None, trans=None, format=None)¶
Sequential, diverging and qualitative color scales from colorbrewer2.org for fill aesthetic. Color schemes provided are particularly suited to display discrete values (levels of factors) on a map.
- Parameters
- type{‘seq’, ‘div’, ‘qual’}
One of seq (sequential), div (diverging) or qual (qualitative) types of scales.
- palettestr or int
If a string, will use that named palette. If a number, will index into the list of palettes of appropriate type.
- direction{1, -1}, default=1
Set the order of colors in the scale. If 1, colors are as output by brewer palette. If -1, the order of colors is reversed.
- namestr
The name of the scale - used as the axis label or the legend title. If None, the default, the name of the scale is taken from the first mapping used for that aesthetic.
- breakslist
A vector specifying values to display as ticks on axis.
- labelslist of str
A vector of labels (on ticks).
- limitslist
Continuous scale: a numeric vector of length two providing limits of the scale. Discrete scale: a vector specifying the data range for the scale and the default order of their display in guides.
- na_value
Missing values will be replaced with this value.
- guide
Guide to use for this scale. It can either be a string (‘colorbar’, ‘legend’) or a call to a guide function (guide_colorbar(), guide_legend()) specifying additional arguments. ‘none’ will hide the guide.
- trans{‘identity’, ‘log10’, ‘sqrt’, ‘reverse’}
Name of built-in transformation.
- formatstr
Define the format for labels on the scale. The syntax resembles Python’s: ‘.2f’ -> ‘12.45’ ‘Num {}’ -> ‘Num 12.456789’ ‘TTL: {.2f}$’ -> ‘TTL: 12.45$’ For more info see https://lets-plot.org/pages/formats.html.
- Returns
- FeatureSpec
Scale specification.
Notes
Define sequential, diverging and qualitative color scales from colorbrewer2.org for filling color aesthetic. ColorBrewer provides sequential, diverging and qualitative color schemes which are particularly suited and tested to display discrete values (levels of a factor) on a map. It allows to smoothly interpolate 6 colors from any palette to a continuous scale (6 colors per palette gives nice gradients; more results in more saturated colors which do not look as good).
However, the original color schemes (particularly the qualitative ones) were not intended for this and the perceptual result is left to the appreciation of the user. See colorbrewer2.org for more information.
Palettes:
Diverging : BrBG, PiYG, PRGn, PuOr, RdBu, RdGy, RdYlBu, RdYlGn, Spectral.
Qualitative : Accent, Dark2, Paired, Pastel1, Pastel2, Set1, Set2, Set3.
Sequential : Blues, BuGn, BuPu, GnBu, Greens, Greys, Oranges, OrRd, PuBu, PuBuGn, PuRd, Purples, RdPu, Reds, YlGn, YlGnBu, YlOrBr, YlOrRd.
