\description{Smooth gradient between n colours}
\details{
This page describes scale\_gradientn, see \code{\link{layer}} and \code{\link{qplot}} for how to create a complete plot from individual components.
}
\usage{scale_colour_gradientn(name = NULL, colours, values = NULL, rescale = TRUE,
space = "rgb", ...)}
\arguments{
\item{name}{name of scale to appear in legend or on axis. Maybe be an expression: see ?plotmath}
\item{colours}{NULL}
\item{values}{NULL}
\item{rescale}{NULL}
\item{space}{colour space to interpolate through, rgb or Lab, see ?colorRamp for details}
\item{...}{other arguments}
}
\seealso{\itemize{
\item \code{\link{scale_gradient}}: continuous colour scale with midpoint
\item \code{\link{colorRamp}}: for details of interpolation algorithm

# You can force them to be symmetric by supplying a vector of
# values, and turning rescaling off
