# Xaringan Themer ggplot2 Scales

Source: `R/ggplot2.R`
`scale_xaringan.Rd`

Lifecycle: Maturing

Color and fill single-color scales for discrete and continuous values, created using the primary accent color of the xaringanthemer styles.

    scale_xaringan_discrete(
      aes_type = c("color", "colour", "fill"),
      ...,
      color = NULL,
      direction = 1,
      inverse = FALSE
    )

    scale_xaringan_fill_discrete(..., color = NULL, direction = 1, inverse = FALSE)

      ...,
      color = NULL,
      direction = 1,
      inverse = FALSE
    )

    scale_xaringan_colour_discrete(
      ...,
      color = NULL,
      direction = 1,
      inverse = FALSE
    )

    scale_xaringan_continuous(
      aes_type = c("color", "colour", "fill"),
      ...,
      color = NULL,
      begin = 0,
      end = 1,
      inverse = FALSE
    )

    scale_xaringan_fill_continuous(
      ...,
      color = NULL,
      begin = 0,
      end = 1,
      inverse = FALSE
    )

## Arguments

aes_type | The type of aesthetic to which the scale is being applied. One of "color", "colour", or "fill".
... | Arguments passed on to either the colorspace scale functions — one of colorspace::scale_color_discrete_sequential, colorspace::scale_color_continuous_sequential, colorspace::scale_fill_discrete_sequential, or colorspace::scale_fill_continuous_sequential — or to ggplot2::continuous_scale or ggplot2::discrete_scale.
color | A color value, in hex, to override the default color. Otherwise, the primary color of the resulting scale is chosen from the xaringanthemer slide styles.
direction | Direction of the discrete scale. Use values less than 0 to reverse the direction, e.g. `direction = -1`.
inverse | If `color` is not supplied and `inverse = TRUE`, a primary color is chosen to work well with the inverse slide styles, namely the value of `inverse_header_color`
begin | Number in the range of `[0, 1]` indicating to which point in the color scale the smallest data value should be mapped.
end | Number in the range of `[0, 1]` indicating to which point in the color scale the largest data value should be mapped.
