## The University of Sydney colour palettes

The `usydColours` package is intended to provide a set of colour palettes for use with `ggplot2` and `plot` graphs. The palettes have been derived from The University of Sydney Branding Document V2.0, and include the primary branding palette as well as some novelty palettes that capture the spirit and landmarks of the University.

For more information on University branding, refer to the following links:  
* https://intranet.sydney.edu.au/services/marketing-communications/our-brand.html  
* https://intranet.sydney.edu.au/content/dam/intranet/documents/services/marketing-communications/brand-documents/LR_Brand_Guidelines_V2.1_General.pdf

The functionality of usydColours is based on the wonderful `wesanderson` package (https://github.com/karthik/wesanderson).

```

### Use with ggplot2

Below are some examples of `usydColours` in action.

#### Categorical data

```{r usage_categorical, echo=TRUE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE, fig.height=3, fig.align='center'}

# Bar graph with the tertiary palette
diamonds %>%
  filter(price < 1000) %>%
  ggplot(aes(price, fill = cut)) +
    geom_histogram(colour = "black", position = "dodge", binwidth = 250) +
    theme_bw() +
    scale_fill_manual(values = usyd_palette("modern_tertiary"))

# Density graph with the muted palette
iris %>%
  ggplot(aes(x = Sepal.Length, fill = Species)) + 
    geom_density() +
    theme_bw() +
    facet_wrap(. ~ Species) +
    scale_fill_manual(values = usyd_palette("muted")) 

# Scatter plot using the jacaranda palette
diamonds %>%
  filter(row_number() %% 5 == 1) %>%
  filter(carat < 3) %>%
  filter(clarity %in% c("SI2", "SI1", "VS2", "VVS2")) %>%
  ggplot(aes(carat, price, colour = clarity)) +
    geom_jitter(alpha = 0.7) +
    theme_bw() +
    scale_colour_manual(values = usyd_palette("jacaranda"))

```


#### Continuous data

Use `usyd_palette` to interpolate colours between the discrete colours of the available palettes for continuous data. Remember to supply values for `n` and set `type = "continuous"`.   
  
Tip: you can also use `usyd_palette` to generate more colours of your favourite palette for categorical plots too!

```{r usage_continuous1, echo=TRUE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE, fig.height=3, fig.align='center'}

# Heatmap
mpg %>%
  count(class, drv) %>%
  complete(class, drv, fill = list(n = 0L)) %>%
  ggplot(aes(x = class, y = drv)) +
  geom_tile(mapping = aes(fill = n)) +
  theme_bw() +
  scale_fill_gradientn(colours = usyd_palette("flametree", 100, type = "continuous"))
```

```{r usage_continuous2, echo=TRUE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE, fig.height=3, fig.align='center'}
library(maps)
library(mapproj)

# Chloropleth
# This example is from: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/viridis/vignettes/intro-to-viridis.html
unemp <- read.csv("http://datasets.flowingdata.com/unemployment09.csv",
                  header = FALSE, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
names(unemp) <- c("id", "state_fips", "county_fips", "name", "year",
                  "?", "?", "?", "rate")
unemp$county <- tolower(gsub(" County, [A-Z]{2}", "", unemp$name))
unemp$county <- gsub("^(.*) parish, ..$","\\1", unemp$county)
unemp$state <- gsub("^.*([A-Z]{2}).*$", "\\1", unemp$name)

county_df <- map_data("county", projection = "albers", parameters = c(39, 45))
names(county_df) <- c("long", "lat", "group", "order", "state_name", "county")
county_df$state <- state.abb[match(county_df$state_name, tolower(state.name))]
county_df$state_name <- NULL

state_df <- map_data("state", projection = "albers", parameters = c(39, 45))

choropleth <- merge(county_df, unemp, by = c("state", "county"))
choropleth <- choropleth[order(choropleth$order), ]


ggplot(choropleth, aes(long, lat, group = group)) +
  geom_polygon(aes(fill = rate), colour = alpha("white", 1 / 2), size = 0.2) +
  geom_polygon(data = state_df, colour = "white", fill = NA) +
  coord_fixed() +
  theme_void() +
  ggtitle("US unemployment rate by county") +
  theme(axis.line = element_blank(), axis.text = element_blank(),
        axis.ticks = element_blank(), axis.title = element_blank()) +
  scale_fill_gradientn(colours = usyd_palette("modern_tertiary", 100, type = "continuous"))

```

### Defining custom palettes

Want to make your own palette? No problem! You can also define your own palette by selecting  colours of your choice with `usyd_pal_gen`.

Below is the full list of colour names contained in `usydColours`.

```{r swatchplot, echo=FALSE, warning=FALSE, message=FALSE, fig.align='center'}

# Load required data
load(file = "R/sysdata.rda")

fullhexpallette <- matrix(sydneyunicolours$hex)
rownames(fullhexpallette) <- sydneyunicolours$colourName

# Display University branding colours
usydSwatchplot <- swatchplot(fullhexpallette)

```

After you've decided on what colours you want, use `usyd_pal_gen` as shown below to make a custom palette.

```{r new_palette, echo=TRUE, warning=FALSE, message=FALSE, fig.align='center', fig.height=4, fig.width=7}

# Define a new palette
my_palette <- usyd_pal_gen(
  "UpdatedOchre", 
  "LightOchre", 
  "NeutralGrey", 
  "Eucalypt", 
  "DarkEucalypt") 

# Use the new palette
diamonds %>%
  filter(price < 1000) %>%
  ggplot(aes(price, fill = cut)) +
  geom_histogram(colour = "black", position = "dodge", binwidth = 250) +
  theme_bw() +
  scale_fill_manual(values = my_palette)
```


### RGB values and hex codes of colours

You can also refer to this table for RGB values and hex codes if you'd like to apply them in Photoshop or any other code. 

```{r hexcodes, echo=FALSE, warning=FALSE, message=FALSE}

sydneyunicolours2 <- sydneyunicolours %>%
  dplyr::select(
    colourName,
    R,
    G,
    B,
    hex
  )

knitr::kable(sydneyunicolours2)

```
