Changes since last release:
seecol() compares a list of color palettes:
scale_x option to scale palettes to a fixed total width;pal argument as default names.url_unikn() prints an en-dash, rather than a figure dash (as the latter created issues on Fedora Linux systems).newpal() provides pattern and replacement arguments (to allow for REGEX operations on color names).pal = "add" keyword for seecol().The current development version of unikn is available at https://github.com/hneth/unikn/.
This release of unikn (v0.9.0) reduces its functionality by migrating some color palettes to a new R package unicol. [2023-08-09]

[2019-09-25]
Changes since last release:
New functionality:
newpal() function for defining new color palettes (as a named vector or data frame).theme_unikn() function to provide a basic ggplot2 theme.Changes in existing functionality:
col_bg argument to the seecol() function to allow setting background color.title argument to the seecol() function to allow overwriting the default title (created when title = NA).lwd_brd argument to the seecol() function to allow setting the linewidth of shapes (and setting sensible defaults in combination with col_brd).seecol() and usecol() that prevented use in other packages (by requiring list of palettes).seecol(), due to searching both the current set of color palettes and base R colors(). Different names for the same color are now separated by a forward slash (/), duplicates are removed before naming.isHexCol() to recognize hexadecimal color values starting with lowercase letters.[File NEWS.md updated on 2024-04-16.]
