[R] colors and palettes and things...

[Jeff D. Hamann]

After trying to find if there was a color picker in the FAQs and the help,
I thought I would send a post here. I was overwhelmed with all the
wonderful color choices R has predefined (discovered after typing in
colors()) but can't figure out what they all (by name) look like. Is there
a color picker or some other method to display all those colors next to
the name?

I think I can put together palettes, but another question I have then
regards the building of palettes (a list of variable length I can select
or create myself other than the ones defined by Palette) so I can pass
these colors into functions instead of having to predefine a bunch of
colors myself or use the predefined colors like terrain.colors(n)?

Are there groups of colors in the colors() that I can group together to
make some nice palettes for drawing barplots, etc?

Thanks,
Jeff.
