figures: can't tell CF and FF apart #34

Closed embruna closed 3 years ago

embruna commented 3 years ago

It impossible to tell the lines for CF and FF apart when printed in B&W (Fgi 2 + the figures of the vital rates). This isn't so much the pink/blue color scheme, though I think other ones look nicer. I would make the line for CF solid and the one for FF dashed. Note that this will affect the 1:1 line in fig 6 (site t vs size t+1)

I'm happy to take suggestions on colors. Ideally they'd not be an ugly brown when overlapped, but it's more important that they are distinguishable and accessible.

I'm not really worried about the colors. I agonize over posts like this one and then reaaaaalllly dive into, e.g., this one.. Sequential classed? colors because fragmentation is a gradient from CF to FF? Categorical because no, there is no gradient? Wrong...Divergent Classed! And don't forget accessible!

I don't know anymore. I used to use red (ff) and blue (cf). Now? shrug emoji.

Yeah, the problem with the qualitative palettes is that they all have the same luminance so no single category has a greater perceptual weight—but that means they look identical in grayscale. I think the linetype thing is a good solution for grayscale print.
