Scientific maps should reach everyone: The cblindplot R package to let colour blind people visualise spatial patterns

Maps represent powerful tools to show the spatial variation of a variable in straightforward manner. A crucial aspect map rendering for its interpretation by users is gamut colours used displaying data. One part this problem linked proportion human population that colour blind and, therefore, highly sensitive palette selection. The aim paper present cblindplot R package and founding function - cblind.plot() which enables people just enter an image coding workflow, simply set their deficiency type, immediately get as output friendly plot. We will first describe detail problems, then step example being proposed. While examples exist provide with proper palettes, such cases (i) workflow include separate import application ramp palettes (ii) albeit well documented, there are many steps be done before plotting palette. described paper, on contrary, allows automatically call inside without any initial explicitly refer type experienced, further apply
