Display the base R colour options. — colour

display the base R colour options in the active graphics plotting device or printed to a PDF file. This makes it easier to see what the colour options are in conjunction with their R labels to make it easier to specify custom colours for plots.

colour_options(print_to_pdf = FALSE, pdf_name = "base_r_colour_options.pdf")

Arguments

print_to_pdf: IF TRUE, output is exported to a PDF in the working directory instead of displayed in an R graphics device.
pdf_name: The name of the PDF file. Default is "base_r_colour_options.pdf". Must end in .pdf. Ignored if print_to_pdf = FALSE.
