Display a Cheysson palette with color swatches and hex codes

Creates a visual display of a color palette showing color swatches along with their hex codes. This is useful for documentation, presentations, and exploring the available palettes.

Usage

show_palette(palette = "1880_07", n = NULL, show_info = TRUE, cex = 1)

Arguments

palette: Name of palette (e.g., "1880_07"), or palette type ("sequential", "diverging", "grouped", "category").
n: Number of colors to display. If NULL (default), shows all colors in the palette. If specified, will interpolate if n > palette size.
show_info: Logical; if TRUE (default), displays palette metadata (type, album, plate) above the swatches.
cex: Text size multiplier for hex codes (default 1).

Value

Invisibly returns a character vector of the displayed hex codes. The function is called primarily for its side effect of creating a plot.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Display a specific palette
show_palette("1880_07")

# Display palette without metadata
show_palette("1881_03", show_info = FALSE)

# Display 10 interpolated colors
show_palette("1895_04", n = 10)

# Display first sequential palette
show_palette("sequential")
} # }
