\title{Evolve function}

\usage{

evolve(selected_parents, n_children, mutation_rate = 0.05, variation = 0.01)

}

\arguments{

\item{selected_parents}{List of selected parents.}

\item{n_children}{Number of children to spawn.}

\item{mutation_rate}{Mutation rate. Numeric (0-1).}

\item{variation}{Variation parameter. Controls the extent a single colour varies during mutation.}

}

\value{

}

\description{

Takes a set of parent palettes and spawns a given number of children.

}

\details{

It is possible to evolve only 1 selected parent. In this case crossover has no effect however random mutations can

still occur and the \code{variation} parameter will generate slight variations of the parent. Useful for tweaking a chosen palette.

If selecting 3 or more parents, two are chosen at random to spawn a single child. This is repeated \code{n_children} times.
