Build Status Crates.io

Get a Vec of colors (described using rgb crate) from one of the famous ColorBrewer palette. These color specifications and designs are developed by Cynthia Brewer (http://colorbrewer2.org/).

Usage

use colorbrewer::{Palette, get_ramp};

// Use an existing palette from the `Palette` Enum and the wanted number of colors:
let ramp_orange = get_color_ramp(Palette::Oranges, 3);
assert_eq!(
  ramp_orange,
  Some(
    vec![
      rgb::RGB { r: 254, g: 230, b: 206},
      rgb::RGB { r: 253, g: 174, b: 107},
      rgb::RGB { r: 230, g: 85, b: 13},
    ]
  ));

// Or match the name of one palette with the corresponding Enum variant
// using the 'parse' method of a string:
let blue_pal: Palette = "Blues".parse().unwrap();
let ramp = get_color_ramp(blue_pal, 5);

// `None` is returned if the number is invalid:
let ramp = get_color_ramp(Palette::Pastel2, 35);
assert_eq!(ramp, None);

  • Shameless copy/paste/replace all/etc. of the the colorbrewer JS Object from https://github.com/saikocat/colorbrewer to transform it in nested rust match, wrapped in a function.
  • rustfmt mostly did the rest of the job.
