The goal of jwst is to be an R color palette inspired by the beautiful images

from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

More on the JWST itself here https://jwst.nasa.gov/index.html.

## Installation

You can install the development version of jwst like so:

```r

remotes::install_github("erictleung/jwst")

```

## Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:

```{r example}

library(jwst)

names(jwst_palettes)

```

You can call the palette in just one command.

```{r palette_carina, fig.height=2, fig.width=6}

jwst("carina")

```

![](./man/figures/carina.jpg)

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

```{r palette_carina_three, fig.height=2, fig.width=6}

jwst("carina", 3)

```

```{r palette_smacs, fig.height=2, fig.width=6}

jwst("smacs")

```

![](./man/figures/smacs.jpg)

```{r palette_southern_nebula_1, fig.height=2, fig.width=6}

jwst("southern_nebula_1")

```

![](./man/figures/southernringnebula_1.jpg)

```{r palette_southern_nebula_2, fig.height=2, fig.width=6}

jwst("southern_nebula_2")

```

![](./man/figures/southernringnebula_2.jpg)

```{r palette_stephans, fig.height=2, fig.width=6}

jwst("stephans_quintet")

```

![](./man/figures/stephansquintet.jpg)

## Generating your own

If you don't like the color here, you can experiment and make your own!

```{r example_generate_palette}

library(imgpalr)

set.seed(1)

(x <- paste0(system.file(package = "jwst"), "/help/figures/carina.jpg"))

image_pal(

  x[1],

  type = "div",

  saturation = c(0.75, 1),

  brightness = c(0.75, 1),

  plot = TRUE

)

```

List other images available.

```{r}

list.files(paste0(system.file(package = "jwst"), "/help/figures"))

```
