bayesplot (version 1.4.0)

theme_default: Default bayesplot plotting theme

Description

The theme_default function returns the default ggplot theme used by the bayesplot plotting functions. After loading the bayesplot package, this theme will be the default for all graphs made with ggplot2. See the Details section, below.

Usage

theme_default(base_size = getOption("bayesplot.base_size", 12),
  base_family = getOption("bayesplot.base_family", "serif"))

Arguments

base_size, base_family

Base font size and family (passed to theme_bw). It is possible to set "bayesplot.base_size" and "bayesplot.base_family" via options to change the defaults, which are 12 and "serif", respectively.

Value

A ggplot theme object.

Details

After loading bayesplot, if you subsequently change the default ggplot2 theme (i.e., by calling theme_set or loading a different package that changes the theme) then bayesplot will use that theme instead. To change back to the default bayesplot theme use bayesplot::theme_default() as the argument to theme_set.

See Also

Examples

# NOT RUN {
class(theme_default())

# plot using the default theme
ggplot2::theme_set(theme_default())
x <- example_mcmc_draws()
mcmc_hist(x)

# change the default font size and family
ggplot2::theme_set(theme_default(base_size = 8, base_family = "sans"))
mcmc_hist(x)
mcmc_areas(x, regex_pars = "beta")

# change back
ggplot2::theme_set(theme_default())
mcmc_areas(x, regex_pars = "beta")

# use one of the themes included in ggplot2
ggplot2::theme_set(ggplot2::theme_gray())
mcmc_dens_overlay(x)

# change back to bayesplot default theme
ggplot2::theme_set(bayesplot::theme_default())
mcmc_dens_overlay(x)

# }
