Using Color Palettes

# Get specific palettes
vivid_colors <- get_palette("qual_vivid", type = "qualitative")
blues_gradient <- get_palette("seq_blues", type = "sequential")

cat("Vivid qualitative palette:\n")
#> Vivid qualitative palette:
print(vivid_colors)
#> [1] "#E64B35" "#4DBBD5" "#00A087" "#3C5488" "#F39B7F" "#8491B4" "#91D1C2"
#> [8] "#DC0000" "#7E6148"

cat("\nBlues sequential palette:\n")
#> 
#> Blues sequential palette:
print(blues_gradient)
#> [1] "#deebf7" "#9ecae1" "#3182bd"

Creating Custom Palettes

# Create a custom palette (demonstration only - not executed to avoid file creation)
custom_colors <- c("#FF6B6B", "#4ECDC4", "#45B7D1", "#96CEB4")

# Example of how to create a custom palette (using temp directory):
# create_palette(
#   name = "custom_demo",
#   colors = custom_colors,
#   type = "qualitative",
#   color_dir = tempdir()  # Use temporary directory to avoid cluttering package
# )

# Preview the custom colors
print("Custom palette colors:")
#> [1] "Custom palette colors:"
print(custom_colors)
#> [1] "#FF6B6B" "#4ECDC4" "#45B7D1" "#96CEB4"
cat("This would create a palette named 'custom_demo' with", length(custom_colors), "colors\n")
#> This would create a palette named 'custom_demo' with 4 colors

Gene ID Conversion

# Convert gene symbols to Ensembl IDs
gene_symbols <- c("TP53", "BRCA1", "EGFR")
ensembl_ids <- convert_gene_id(
  ids = gene_symbols,
  from = "SYMBOL",
  to = "ENSEMBL",

🔄 Data Processing and Void Handling

Working with Void Values

# Create sample vector with void values
messy_vector <- c("A", "", "C", NA, "E")

print("Original vector:")
#> [1] "Original vector:"
print(messy_vector)
#> [1] "A" ""  "C" NA  "E"

# Check for void values
cat("\nAny void values:", any_void(messy_vector), "\n")

#> Any void values: TRUE

# Replace void values
clean_vector <- replace_void(messy_vector, value = "MISSING")
print("After replacing voids:")
#> [1] "After replacing voids:"
print(clean_vector)
#> [1] "A"       "MISSING" "C"       "MISSING" "E"

Data Transformation

# Convert data frame to grouped list by cylinder count

  value_col = "mpg"
)

print("Cars grouped by cylinder, showing MPG values:")

⚡ Custom Operators

# Demonstrate custom operators
x <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
y <- c(3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

# Check what's NOT in another vector
print(x %nin% y)
