Write a palette to a YAML file

Serialises a palette so it can be edited by hand and reloaded. Entries are written in the simple Name: "#RRGGBB" form; any entry can then be expanded in place into a map with _color, _short, _long and _aliases without restructuring the rest of the file.

Usage

energypal_write(pal, file)

Arguments

pal

A palette from energypal_create(), or any named colour vector.

file

Path to write to.

Value

Invisibly, file.

Examples

p <- energypal_create(c(Coal = "#2C2C2C", Solar = "#FFA500"), name = "mine")
f <- tempfile(fileext = ".yml")
energypal_write(p, f)
cat(readLines(f), sep = "\n")
#> # energypal palette
#> #
#> # Each entry may be a bare colour, or a map with _color, _short, _long and
#> # _aliases. Add detail to individual entries as needed; the rest can stay simple.
#> 
#> meta:
#>   name: mine
#>   title: mine
#>   version: 0.1.0
#> 
#> colors:
#>   Coal: "#2C2C2C"
#>   Solar: "#FFA500"
