Scale functions for use with ggplot2

p <- ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Width, Sepal.Length, color = Species)) + 
  geom_point(size = 5, alpha = 0.75)
p + scale_colour_bprd() # starfleet is default palette

p <- ggplot(diamonds, aes(carat, stat(count), fill = cut)) +
  geom_density(position = "fill")
p + scale_fill_bprd("hellboy")

p + scale_fill_bprd("abe")

p + scale_fill_bprd("liz")

d <- diamonds[diamonds$cut >= "Very Good", ]
p <- ggplot(d, aes(carat, stat(count), fill = cut)) +
  geom_density(position = "fill")
p + scale_fill_bprd("roger")
