EraBrewer

Palettes inspired by Taylor Swift’s album covers.

Structure of the package was based on MetBrewer themselves inspired by:

• RColorBrewer from Cynthia Brewer
• PNWColors
• wesanderson

Installation

Palettes

The colours are just colours. The copyright for the album covers is most likely owned by either the publisher of the work or the artist(s) which produced the recording or cover artwork in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of such covers qualifies as fair use.

Install Package

R

Install the released version from CRAN:

install.packages("EraBrewer")

Or the development version from GitHub:

# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("mathias-sm/EraBrewer")

Usage:

ggplot(data=iris, aes(x=Sepal.Length, y=Sepal.Width, color=Species)) +
  geom_point() +
  scale_color_manual(values=era.brewer(palette_name, n=3))

Python

Place Python/era_brewer.py into your source directory.

Use it in your code:

from matplotlib.colors import LinearSegmentedColormap
from cycler import cycler
import era_brewer

# Discrete
color_scheme = era_brewer.era_brew('Lover1', n=5, brew_type="discrete")
custom_cycler = cycler(color=color_scheme)

# Continuous
image_map = era_brewer.era_brew('Showgirl2',n=100,brew_type="continuous")
custom_cmap = LinearSegmentedColormap.from_list("custom_gradient", image_map)
