Not enough shapes to plot more than 6 data series #2

Closed Guillawme closed 7 years ago

Guillawme commented 7 years ago

In inspect_raw_data(), shapes are currently used to differentiate data points from different data series (blank, titration, technical replicates). The maximal number of shapes is 6, which allows to plot only three replicates of a complete experiment: 3x (blank + titration).

This limitation can be avoided using colors, but this introduces a potential problem for color blind users. Maybe there is a convenient color palette out there.

The scale_color_colorblind() palette from https://github.com/jrnold/ggthemes seems to give good results.

I am actually not sure whether this should be fixed. Symbols are way easier to read than colors, and it's not very useful to have more than three technical replicates anyway.
