```{r setup, include = FALSE}

# nationalparkcolors

The goal of nationalparkcolors is to provide an interface to the beautiful colors in National Park posters and images. The posters are a mix of the WPA originals and more modern remakes.

## Installation

You can install the released version of nationalparkcolors from GitHub with:

```{r eval = FALSE}

# install.packages("devtools")

devtools::install_github("katiejolly/nationalparkcolors")

```

```{r echo = FALSE, out.width="200px"}

knitr::include_graphics("https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQNS1Au8a9aLV9ZdvMo1F_s22jlx70AHWq3CqlLUNK4O4M2PG0c")

knitr::include_graphics("https://zionpark.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/retrobryce.png")

knitr::include_graphics("https://i.pinimg.com/736x/60/d4/c1/60d4c16a3102e33d7c73c9b6bc72c04b.jpg")

```

## Example

There are `r length(nationalparkcolors::park_palettes)` total palettes to choose from.

```{r}

library(nationalparkcolors)

names(park_palettes)

```

You can create a palette in just one command (+ get an image of the palette).

```{r results = 'show'}

pal <- park_palette("MtRainier")

```

If you want a specific number of colors, you can also do that.

```{r}

pal <- park_palette("MtRainier", 4)

```

## Palettes

```{r out.width="300px", echo = FALSE, warning = FALSE, message = FALSE}

print.palette <- function(x, ...) {

  n <- length(x)

  old <- par(mar = c(0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5))

  on.exit(par(old))

  image(1:n, 1, as.matrix(1:n), col = x,

        ylab = "", xaxt = "n", yaxt = "n", bty = "n")

  rect(0, 0.9, n + 1, 1.1, col = rgb(1, 1, 1, 0.8), border = NA)

  text((n + 1) / 2, 1, labels = attr(x, "name"), cex = 2, family = "Lato", col = "#32373D")

}

pals <- names(park_palettes)

for (pal in pals){

  print.palette(park_palette(pal))

}

```

Along with the nice color palettes, I also hope that people think more about the national park system when using this package. I am not affiliated with the Park Service, but if you'd like to support them you can [donate here](https://www.nps.gov/getinvolved/donate.htm).
