Color palettes in the eulerr package

Question

I really like the eulerr package. It makes beautiful plots. I don't, however, have an eye for color, and would therefore like to use existing color schemes like "viridis" or "magma." Is this possible, or are these schemes restricted to continuous data?

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible

library(viridis)
library(eulerr)

Pull some viridis colors. I'm using the plasma scale (you can use magma, inferno, whatever scale you like) and pulling 4 colors because that's how many overlap areas there are in the demo plot further down.

colors <- c(viridis::plasma(n = 4))

Make a eulerr diagram, from eulerr demo here

fit1 <- euler(c("A" = 25, "B" = 5, "C" = 5,
            "A&B" = 5, "A&C" = 5, "B&C" = 3,
            "A&B&C" = 3))
set.seed(1)
mat <-
  cbind(
    A = sample(c(TRUE, TRUE, FALSE), size = 50, replace = TRUE),
    B = sample(c(TRUE, FALSE), size = 50, replace = TRUE),
    C = sample(c(TRUE, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE), size = 50, replace = TRUE)
  )
fit2 <- euler(mat)

Plot the eulerr diagram with our viridis colors

plot(fit2,
fills = list(fill = colors),
edges = list(lty = 1:3),
labels = list(font = 2))
