Calculate the element properties, by inheriting properties from its parents
calc_element(element, theme, verbose = FALSE)
The name of the theme element to calculate
A theme object (like theme_grey())
If TRUE, print out which elements this one inherits from
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
