Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug in the hcl code? (Also any suggestions for

Dear r-devel, I have implemented a function to create color palettes with improved contrast and logical order, compared with the built-in ones: source("arni.colors.R") # code is given below barplot(rep(1,100), col=arni.colors(100), space=0, border=0, axes=F) par(mfrow=c(2,1)) # rainbow() has too much green... barplot(rep(1,50), col=rev(rainbow(50,end=0.7)), space=0, border=0,

Hi I want to create a vector of colors that are as different from one another as possible. ?rainbow states "Conceptually, all of these functions actually use (parts of) a line cut out of the 3-dimensional color space...". This suggests to me that the resulting colors are all placed on this "line" and are equi-distant along it. The resulting color palette is a range of
