ucie
Mapping 3D Data into CIELab Color Space
Returns a data frame with the names of the input data points and hex colors (or CIELab coordinates). Data can be mapped to colors for use in data visualization. It optimally maps data points into a polygon that represents the CIELab colour space. Since Euclidean distance approximates relative perceptual differences in CIELab color space, the result is a color encoding that aims to capture much of the structure of the original data.
ucie
The goal of ucie is to map data into CIELab Color Space.
Installation
You can install the released version of ucie from CRAN with:
install.packages("ucie")
or
devtools::install_github("mikelkou/ucie")
Usage
library(ucie)
# returns a data frame with names of data points and colors (hex colors or Lab coordinates)
data2cielab(dataset, WL, Wa, Wb, S, LAB_coordinates)
Example
This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:
library(ucie)
## basic example code
df <- data.frame(V1=runif(100, 0,1), V2=runif(100, 0,5), V3=runif(100, 0,30))
data_with_colors <- data2cielab(df, Wb=1.2, S=1.6)
