| rgb {grDevices} | R Documentation |
This function creates “colors” corresponding to the given
intensities (between 0 and max) of the red, green and blue
primaries.
An alpha transparency value can also be specified
(0 means fully transparent and max means opaque).
If alpha is not specified, an opaque colour is generated.
The names argument may be used to provide names for the colors.
The values returned by these functions can be used with a
col= specification in graphics functions or in par.
rgb(red, green, blue, alpha, names = NULL, maxColorValue = 1)
red, blue, green, alpha |
vectors of same length
with values in [0, M]
where M is maxColorValue. When this is 255, the
red, blue, green, and alpha
values are coerced to
integers in 0:255 and the result is computed most efficiently. |
names |
character. The names for the resulting vector. |
maxColorValue |
number giving the maximum of the color values range, see above. |
col2rgb the “inverse” for translating R colors
to RGB vectors;
rainbow, hsv, hcl, gray.
