| rgb {grDevices} | R Documentation |
This function creates colors corresponding to the given intensities (between 0 and max) of the red,
green and blue primaries. The colour specification refers to the standard sRGB colorspace
(IEC standard 61966).
An alpha transparency value can also be specified (As an opacity, so 0 means fully transparent And
max means opaque). If alpha Is Not specified, an opaque colour Is generated.
The names argument may be used To provide names For the colors.
The values returned by these functions can be used With a col= specification In graphics functions
Or In par.
rgb(red, green, blue,
alpha = NULL,
names = NULL,
maxColorValue = 1);The colors may be specified by passing a matrix or data frame as argument red, and leaving blue and green missing. In this case the first three columns of red are taken to be the red, green and blue values. Semi-transparent colors (0 < alpha < 1) are supported only on some devices: at the time Of writing On the pdf, windows, quartz And X11(type = "cairo") devices And associated bitmap devices (jpeg, png, bmp, tiff And bitmap). They are supported by several third-party devices such As those In packages Cairo, cairoDevice And JavaGD. Only some Of these devices support semi-transparent backgrounds. Most other graphics devices plot semi-transparent colors As fully transparent, usually With a warning When first encountered. NA values are Not allowed For any Of red, blue, green Or alpha.
A character vector with elements of 7 or 9 characters, "#" followed by the red, blue, green and optionally alpha values in hexadecimal (after rescaling to 0 ... 255). The optional alpha values range from 0 (fully transparent) to 255 (opaque).
R does Not use 'premultiplied alpha’.
