scale_colour_continuous {ggplot2}R Documentation

Continuous colour scales

Description

Colour scales for continuous data default to the values of the ggplot2.continuous.colour and ggplot2.continuous.fill options. If these options are not present, "gradient" will be used. See options() for more information.

Usage

scale_colour_continuous(..., type = getOption("ggplot2.continuous.colour",
  default = "gradient"))

scale_fill_continuous(..., type = getOption("ggplot2.continuous.fill", default
  = "gradient"))

Arguments

...

Additional parameters passed on to the scale type

type

One of "gradient" (the default) or "viridis" indicating the colour scale to use

Examples

v <- ggplot(faithfuld, aes(waiting, eruptions, fill = density)) +
geom_tile()
v

v + scale_fill_continuous(type = "gradient")
v + scale_fill_continuous(type = "viridis")

# The above are equivalent to
v + scale_fill_gradient()
v + scale_fill_viridis_c()
