glyospalettes 0.3.0

Fifteen new palettes from releases since the first sampling pass: the Paleolords Wave 1 figures (Dan Suarez’s new Glyos-compatible line, listed under his company “Swamp City Collectibles” with the paleo_ prefix), plus new Battle Tribes, Mighty Maniax, Warlords of Wor, A/V Robot and Cappy Space figures. 208 palettes in total.
New glyos_credit() writes a figure-caption or acknowledgments sentence naming the colorways used and the companies that designed them, and follows picks and combines back to their source palettes. citation("glyospalettes") now returns a reference for the package itself.
New glyos_pick() pools the colors of one or more palettes (or of a whole company or product line), drops those with poor WCAG contrast against a light, dark or grayscale background, and returns the n colors whose closest pair is farthest apart in CIE Lab, optionally judged under simulated color-vision deficiency.
New glyos_combine() takes one color from each of a set of palettes, so a product line becomes a categorical palette with one color per figure; distinct = TRUE spreads the choices out for legibility.
Both return named vectors (color by source palette) and print with their provenance; picks draw their swatches on the background they were chosen for. These mirror tf_pick() and tf_team_palette() in the sibling transformerpalettes package.

glyospalettes 0.2.2

The package is now called glyospalettes (it started life as rglyos), to match its sibling transformerpalettes. Function names are unchanged; reinstall with pak::pak("bmaitner/glyospalettes"). The old GitHub URL redirects.

Rebuilt every palette from plastic and paint colors only. The first pass sampled photographs without masking their backgrounds, so studio grays, rock browns and blacks had crept into many palettes (Kabuto Mushi Radioactive, for example, is simply neon green and neon pink). Palettes now range from 2 to 6 colors.
glyos_colorways gains an image column with a direct link to the reference photograph.
New pkgdown site at https://bmaitner.github.io/glyospalettes/ with a filterable palette browser (colors, provenance, reference photos) and prefilled GitHub issue forms for suggesting palette changes, submitting cleaner photos and proposing new colorways.

Added 148 palettes from 17 Glyos-compatible partner companies (TheGodBeast, Spy Monkey Creations, Toyfinity, Four Horsemen Studio, Toy Pizza, Rocom Toys, Bio-Masters Design, Rawshark Studio, ManOrMonster? Studios, NiStuff, Nemo’s Factory, Cappy Space, Banimon, Culture Pirates, October Toys, Zullbeasts, Spaced Out Design), for 193 palettes in total.
glyos_colorways gains company and line columns; wave is now character and year may be NA for partner releases.
New glyos_companies(), and company / line filters on glyos_palette_names() and glyos_show_palettes().
New glyos_find_palettes() and glyos_palette_stats() to shortlist palettes that work for categorical, colorblind-safe, sequential or diverging use, judged from the colors themselves.
glyos_palette() and the continuous scales gain sort = TRUE to order a palette from darkest to lightest.
glyos_show_palettes() prints the hex code under each swatch.

Initial release with 45 palettes based on Onell Design Glyos colorways.
glyos_palette(), glyos_palette_names(), glyos_show_palettes().
ggplot2 scales: scale_colour_glyos(), scale_fill_glyos() and their _d / _c variants, plus scale_color_* aliases.
