\name{color.gradient}
\title{Calculate an arbitrary sequence of colors}
\usage{
color.gradient(reds,greens,blues,nslices=50)
}
\alias{color.gradient}
\arguments{
\item{reds,greens,blues}{vectors of the values of the color components
as 0 to 1.}
\item{nslices}{The number of color "slices".}
}
\description{
\samp{color.gradient} is now just a call to \samp{color.scale} with a
vector of equally spaced integers (1:nslices). The function is kept for
backward compatibility.
}
\note{
The function is mainly useful for defining a set of colors to represent
a known number of gradations. Such a set can be used to assign a grade
to a small number of values (e.g. points on a scatterplot - but see
\samp{color.scale} for large numbers) and display a color bar using
\samp{gradient.rect} as a legend.
}
\value{A vector of hexadecimal color values as used by \samp{col}.}
