calc_element: Calculate the element properties, by inheriting properties from its parents

Description

Calculate the element properties, by inheriting properties from its parents

Usage

calc_element(
  element,
  theme,
  verbose = FALSE,
  skip_blank = FALSE,
  call = caller_env()
)

Arguments

element

The name of the theme element to calculate

theme

A theme object (like theme_grey())

verbose

If TRUE, print out which elements this one inherits from

skip_blank

If TRUE, elements of type element_blank in the inheritance hierarchy will be ignored.

Examples

Run this code
t <- theme_grey()
calc_element('text', t)

# Compare the "raw" element definition to the element with calculated inheritance
t$axis.text.x
calc_element('axis.text.x', t, verbose = TRUE)

# This reports that axis.text.x inherits from axis.text,
# which inherits from text. You can view each of them with:
t$axis.text.x
t$axis.text
t$text
